You can't make this shit up.
Cadillac is transitioning back to actual names with the rollout of its EVs.

Been waiting for that since they got rid of that guy that thought up all of those stupid designations. He did the same thing at Infiniti.

JdN seemed like a pretty good product guy, not so much a marketing guy.

GM President Mark Reuss making a “major announcement” today at the Wentzville plant. Not sure what it is. Wentzville builds Canyon / Colorado and Express / Savanna.

I'm guessing next gen midsize trucks allocated for Wentzville.

Month's ago it was big news that GM was going to invest some big money into the plant, so I know this is a continuation of that prior announcement.

In concept, it isn't a bad way to make it clear what is what like the Germans do. You know an X1, X3, X5, Q3, Q5, etc are crossovers. You know 3 series, C Class, A3, A5, etc are cars. That is what JDN tried to do. I much prefer names myself, but if you are going to do alphanumeric naming structure, do it in a way that clearly tells you what is what. Issue with Cadillac is they didn't do this from the get go and their models already had name cache, etc so it was a bit too late to fix it.... But at least XT-Something CT-Something isn't as stupid as putting the torque in nm on the back instead of the size of the engine..... |

First need to get rid of ATS, CTS and change them to CT#s then get rid of SRX for XT# then bastardize the V badge then add the torque nm to the back and now decided to go back to names.... I know lincoln did it to, but they stuck with the same lettered code at least for the years they did it.
