Okay, I know I'm not going to be liked by many people here for saying this comment but...here it goes... I DO NOT think Grand National would be a good name for the production version of the Velite concept. I understand why it is such a revered name but many here, but that is not the point. Being of the younger generation and looking at it from the average consumer’s standpoint I don't see it portraying the image that NEEDS to be portrayed. And it definitely does not fit in line with the recent naming scheme that is intended to evoke luxuriousness. Personally I think it would be a huge marketing mistake if GM used the Grand National name.
