personally I see good and bad in the renaming, naturally I too initially thought this was just stupid, for sure no one likes change, and whenever someone tries to change something you have some love or passion for then you're naturally going to hate it, there's no point questioning the enthusiasts cause the majority will always resist.but in the end the name or the badge don't mean all that much, make an awesome car that fits what I want and call it a xc4000t, it's the car itself that will define weather I like the xc4000t or not...,
I want a Q99 sedan
"So the solution is pretty straightforward - use Q for cars, QX for crossovers, and double digits in increments of ten, to denote hierarchy, linked to the price point of the model, not size and not engine displacement."
forgetting about stopping the renaming for a minute and personally I see a few problems with the new naming architecture. first of all they say it's so they can add new cars to the lineup but then they fill a block of numbers with the existing line... so they have the q50 q60 q70 q80, how do they add a new car that falls between any car in the existing lineup in the future??? especially if they say "in increments of 10", meaning no q65 inbetween the q60 and q70.... second problem I see is, now I know that a g35 coupe shares it's platform with the g35 sedan, I know the g35 coupe is the 2 door version of the g35 sedan and there basically the same car, now with the new naming it's probable that an expensive top of the line 2 door coupe will have a higher number than a more economy minded larger platform sedan, and then the budget version of the 2 door coupe would be below that.... how would anyone be able to instinctively figure out whats what, I can't see how there going to keep it in just increments of 10 and make this work logically...
