My reference point is the pre-refresh G70, and how nicely crafted its' interior is. I could see Tesla's lead being reeled back by upscale brands. Seems to be a fairly common view.

GM also did try and trot out Tri-power for the turbo 2.7's 3 camshaft modes. Picking at the dead Pontiac wound. Name reuse is bad idea in a lot of cases.
