The only reason why I even guessed that in the first place is that my dad took all of his emblems off of his Pontiac, and couldn't get the front emblem off. He quickly learned that it was bolted on. So from that, I figured that all of GM's 2009 (and some older years too) models had the front emblem bolted on. Kinda the same thing with the GM eblem on both sides of every GM car for the last few years.
