What does the 'S' in a car model name mean like the lexus LS 460?
It stands for "Luxury Sedan"





I think it just means 'Spensive'
Reply:There is a method to the madness! Lexus actually does have a strategy when naming cars.





If the 2nd consonant is "S" it will be a sedan.





If the 2nd consonant is "X" it will be an SUV.





If the 2nd consonant is "C" it will be a coupe. However it will be interesting to see what they will call the new IS coupe. IS-C possibly? And then the performance version might be IS-CF? lol we'll see.





Also if the last consonant is "h" it will be a hybrid.






Reply:Thus far, there have only been:





LS = sedan


GS = sedan


IS = sedan


ES = sedan


RX = suv


GX = suv


LX = suv


SC = coupe





so I would say the second "s" stands for Sedan. Although if rumors are true of a 2-door IS, then that designation might either blow the "sedan" out or it will have to be called IC350 or IC-F.



Reply:"S"


/Sedan


/Sport


/Special





L normally stands for Luxury.





Hope this helps.
Reply:I would venture a guess that it stands for Sedan or Luxury Sedan. I would also guess that it would be the most expensive version of the car.
