There was an article in Motor Trend about that. Companies are going more toward alphanumeric names partly because it sounds more “upscale”, i.e., European. At least that was the author’s opinion.

We have (2) G5’s here. GM sent them out as sort of a display for people who want one, i believe the actual sale of them starts in a few mo. they look EXACTLY like a g6, maybe a little smaller. but from what i have heard you can get a completely loaded one for under 18k
