Well, they already have a stupid naming system, thanks to that former Infiniti (and Cadillac) guy so I guess this fits right in.

I guess you just can't make this stuff up. Layoff assembly workers, but keep people on the payroll who dream up this crap...lol...GM is doomed. I thought they may have come to their senses on what to name the Cadillacs, but instead they went from bad to worse...lol...Do they really think naming a car after a newton converted torque number is a good idea? Good grief. |

Also, their naming department needs a math refresher:

Its unnecessary for sure. And I think its a bad idea. But I think I can see what they're going for.

Yeah, I saw that. It's an added badge for each engine size, but it's not the new name for the whole car....Still fun to bash it, though...lol...It seems silly and likely is an answer to a question that will never be asked...lol... |

As long as they are using an unfamiliar and meaningless (to most people in the US) measurement of torque (which, itself, most people don't know what it is) they should have gone all in and used dyne centimeter. That way instead of driving a pedestrian Cadillac 400 you could drive the much cooler Cadillac 4000000000.
