New Chevy corporate grille

I really don't like the new Chevy corporate grille, as seen on the 2013 Traverse and 2014 Impala. To me it makes them look like downgraded Hondas. I think they're throwing away a lot of brand equity by ditching the split grille. Anyone else?

I like this new one better then how the bar version looked on the Impala. I like the bar version better for the Traverse. I think it all depends on the car. For the trucks I have always prefered the GMC grills.

Yeah, you know what's really interesting......GM design people and Chevrolet marketing people, just about 2 years ago, swore that Chevrolet would retain the x bar grill as a Chevrolet identity. Oh well, the ever evolving NEW GM. Probably good in the long run.

I remember that too. I also read a few months ago that this new grille was only for SUV and CUV models.
