That has been GM's model for the recent 20 years but are now suffering immensely in an economic slow down. Going niche to moderate levels is healthy but in excessive amounts it can be dangerous, and can in the process alienate potential customers overwhelmed and confused by vast numbers of cars with ambiguous purposes.

Both GT proposals are identical except for the rear end.
That is the most interesting: The F14 6er GT. I have waited very much to see BMW's answer to the CLS and A7 and I know that it will be groundbraking.

7er GT? CS production model? Is it still in the works?, Scott said the 6er GT would be the legancy of the CS Concept.

Please no shooting brake ... CLS/Panamera rival is the way to go.

CLS (sedanish) shape is out of the question.

So, either fastback-ish shape ala CS concept or A7.

Or even more shootingbrake-ish design.

Eg. like this one (yet with additional RX-8-like rear doors):
