Its dumb because they're throwing away more than a decade of work that they put into branding the V-series just to start again with some other name. They already had something that accomplishes exactly what they wanted to do. There was no need to change the naming scheme of their performance line at all.
A 'better' name for the top tier of performance isn't going to a help anything. How many people could possibly exist that would never buy a 550 hp twin turbo V8 CT5-V at say 80 grand
buuuut will purchase an $80k 550 hp twin turbo V8 CT5-V+ or Blackwing or Wreath or whatever name they tack onto the end of the exact same car? Compare that to the number of people that will walk away in frustration as some salesman tries to explain that, no, the CT5-V isn't supposed to replace the CTS-V they're trying to trade in. Instead, they have try the CT5-????. If the first number is smaller than the second, its a dumb move.
