I think the new badging integrated into the hoods is over the top and gaudy. I prefer a clean, understated look. A little of the badging is ok but I agree it’s overdone in 2019/2020 models. The hood is recessed to accommodate the badge and there’s no way to get those giant emblems off without major sheet metal and body work. Nothing I can do but accept it until hopefully the next redesign smooths it out.
Funny story about badging - I worked with a guy years ago who bought an Isuzu Ascender which was manufactured by GM. It was a twin for the Chevy Trailblazer only a little cheaper. Someone noticed one day instead of completely stripping all the badging and starting over he was slowly replacing the Isuzu emblems with Chevy badges. So everyone made fun of him behind his back of course, out of courtesy, that he drove the Chesuzu!!
