If you mean that them going with an Alpha Numerics means that they want to market thier cars after people taht want to buy BMW, you are wrong...again. Im detecting a pattern.
The use of alphanumerics is a way to taking the image of the individual car, and shifting the image to the brand.
You dont own a 535, you own a BMW
You dont own a C300, you owne a Benz
You dont own a A4, you have an Audi.
GM's motto as of late? Cant say I agree with you. But then again Im a GM fan boi, and you are a GM hater...so yeah, this is going no where

Um...wtf are you talking about?
GTO sold liek **** for the first three months. In fact, untill rebates and actuall enthusiats started getting behind the car, the car sold like crap.
with 05 and 06, the additional power made more and more people come to the realization that the GTO actually is a real performance car, and something that is more then just a straight line drag car.
Camaro presold 14k units
Camaro sold, in a month, 6k units. Thats nearly half of the orders from October to March, sold in 30 days, with a plant ramping up, on top of making cars for pre-sales.
Not bad at all.
Better indication of sales would be the Challenger or Mustang.
Unlike the GTO, the Camaro has both the performance and retro design that all the kids crave.
Unlike the GTO, the Camaro has a lower cost V6 option
Unlike the GTO, the Camaro has a vast and growing option list
Unlike the GTO, it can actually be made in vast quanities, and locally.
GM taking the GTO racing, and not drag racing, was a great idea.
And the GTO went "drag racing" anyway...if you call a fiberglass shell over a tube frame a GTO.
