December 7, 201213 yr Lots of interesting ones over the last year or so. Here's a partial list: Nomad El Camino Riviera GNX Grand National LTS Electra Crossvolt Stingray Z28 Velite Turbo-Jet
December 7, 201213 yr just keeping the rights to the names I imagine... What are they going to use Turbo-Jet on?
December 7, 201213 yr Author Some are for that perhaps, but "El Camino" has been trademarked for use on a vehicle. Some are just for merchandise (hats etc.) I have no idea why "Turbo-Jet" was trademarked (haven't checked), but it was the way they used to refer to Chevy big block engines. The small blocks were "Turbo-Fire". Trademark registrations can make good "tea leaves" for reading the future if you look carefully enough at how they've been trademarked.
December 7, 201213 yr I loved the Velite concept auto. I can see a powerfull Turbo 4 banger being called Turbo-Jet.
December 8, 201213 yr Author LTS = Omega Cadillac? It would seem so. It was trademarked as "Cadillac LTS" not merely "LTS".
December 11, 201213 yr It would seem so. It was trademarked as "Cadillac LTS" not merely "LTS". BTS/CTS/DTS would have made for a logical letter progression for the 3 core models, instead of ATS/CTS/LTS, but hey... I'm sure (or maybe I'm not hehehe) GM knows better...
December 11, 201213 yr The old legacy names are probably being renewed to protect them. Crossvolt could be for a Volt crossover concept, Velite could be the Cascada (Wishful thinking?), LTS could be the Caddy flagship.
