Simple question about cars.
For some reason I forgot what they were called but on cars, you know say like a honda, they have the little "H" symbol in the back. What are those called?

far as i know, it's just a 'logo' on the back... a 'hood ornament' on the front...
to find out for sure, google for car mfrs' parts sites and see what they call it!

Well, I'd say they both apply, although a decal may be more the non-metal ones (like 200ti) that are like transfers. The H for honda I think would be the marque.

'emblem' sounded right to me, too... and, as i thought, it seems the mfr's parts site is the place to get the official 'skinny'...
