Actually Core is based off Pentium M and is just a refinement of PM. Core 2 is a completely new designed that borrows from the Pentium M. So Core 2 is actually more like G4->G5.
I guess it depends on what you read and which Intel engineers you talk to. Consider completely different nature of the G4 vs G5, as opposed to the clear generational progression of the P-M, Core 1, Core 2, however, I stand by my comparison.

So let's see here, I would like to see a ProMac Core 2 Duo Dual (4 cores) machine with a Woodcrest processor as the low / middle / high end offerings.
IIRC, the Woodcrest chips will still use the Xeon nomenclature.

Heh, consider the 7410 G4 vs the 7450 G4!
PPC603 vs PPC750 (G3)
or PPC750 G3 vs PPC7400 G4
