What's wrong with "GTS" as a name? "GLK" is an SUV.
Otherwise, the last car I can think of as a GTS is a Renault 17 of 40 years ago!
Meanwhile - 4WD from Longbridge!(?) The ZT-T was a one-off, I imagine no Land Rover ever came from Longbridge, what about the Austin Gipsy?

For the 6 I remember trying to guess the model names and would perhaps have expected S (not L if sporting aspiration), LS and GLS. I posted - what did I write?
I would have thought a GTS was a normal, slightly sporting, version with GTX the turbo nutter one. A second name with no number, linked to the GT.
For me, "GT" screams "Hatchback!" and even the Austin 1300 GT and Mini 1275 GT had sloping rears.
I imagine the MG6 facelift hatch may well have a different name.

Re: First MG SUV will be called MG GS
Clive Goldthorp reports:
http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/news/mg-news/news-mg-releases-first-images-new-c-segment-suv-china/
http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/news/mg-news/news-mg-releases-first-images-new-c-segment-suv-china/
The new model, which will apparently be called the GTS in China, is based on a new SAIC Motor-developed scalable architecture dubbed SSA (SAIC Scalable Architecture?) and not, as previously rumoured by some Chinese sources, a modified version of the current SsangYong Korando’s platform. The dimensions of L: 4500mm, W:1675mm and H:1675mm will pitch MG’s new SUV against competitors such as the Honda CR-V and Kia Sportage....
SAIC Motor has reportedly indicated that a UK introduction is scheduled for early 2016 [my bold] – the UK range is expected to include a turbocharged 1.9-litre four-cylinder diesel engine based on the unit already found in the MG6.

Re: First MG SUV will be called MG GS
Car Magazine has picked up the story (picked up Clive's report?) and the summary is:
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/MG-GTS-2016-meet-MGs-SUV/
The GTS was previewed by the MG CS concept at the 2013 Beijing motor show and the styling has remained relatively faithful to that concept. Thankfully there’s no sign of the retro pastiche design treatment of the smaller MG Icon crossover concept shown at the 2012 Beijing show.
Described as a ‘mid-level SUV’, it’ll aim to emulate the success of the likes of the VW Tiguan and Kia Sportage as well as smaller models such as the Renault Captur.

Well just look at the Farina BMC 1100 and then the Citroën GS. It's an Austin Cambridge/Peugeot 404 situation. Read the article - the latest proposed name for the SUV is "GS".
