Recent GM trademark filings

[Camino LS6]

Lots of interesting ones over the last year or so.

Here's a partial list:

Nomad

El Camino

Riviera

GNX

Grand National

LTS

Electra

Crossvolt

Stingray

Z28

Velite

Turbo-Jet

[Drew Dowdell]

just keeping the rights to the names I imagine...

What are they going to use Turbo-Jet on?

[Camino LS6]

Some are for that perhaps, but "El Camino" has been trademarked for use on a vehicle.

Some are just for merchandise (hats etc.)

I have no idea why "Turbo-Jet" was trademarked (haven't checked), but it was the way they used to refer to Chevy big block engines. The small blocks were "Turbo-Fire".

Trademark registrations can make good "tea leaves" for reading the future if you look carefully enough at how they've been trademarked.

I loved the Velite concept auto.

I can see a powerfull Turbo 4 banger being called Turbo-Jet.

[Z-06]

Yes, Nomad and Camino have been trademarked for vehicles.

[Blake Noble]

I think you can also add "ZR2" to that list.

[ZL-1]

LTS = Omega Cadillac?

[Camino LS6]

LTS = Omega Cadillac?

It would seem so. It was trademarked as "Cadillac LTS" not merely "LTS".

[ZL-1]

It would seem so. It was trademarked as "Cadillac LTS" not merely "LTS".

BTS/CTS/DTS would have made for a logical letter progression for the 3 core models, instead of ATS/CTS/LTS, but hey... I'm sure (or maybe I'm not hehehe) GM knows better...

The old legacy names are probably being renewed to protect them. Crossvolt could be for a Volt crossover concept, Velite could be the Cascada (Wishful thinking?), LTS could be the Caddy flagship.

[G. David Felt]

Chevelle is an interesting name for the R130 concept.
