haha this is amusing...isnt it odd that they can randomly generate names for trim levels then say they do not mean anything...im sure they have a meaning, maybe they just don't want the general public to know, or its so abstract that you would not understand unless you were there when they named them...but it'* odd how simple the lettering is, almost logical, but whatever...it will forever be a mystery.

BTW, Camaro is a made up word too. Supposed to make you think "companion", or "comrade" - something along those lines. It doesn't do that for me, but the name works.
I guess Pontiac could have just as easily called the SSE the FE2, and the SSEi the FE2i, eh? Then what would we have wondered what that meant?

I'm just saying a person can pretend that the trim levels have meaning even if they don't officially have meaning aside from just being badges on the side of a car.

well, my true thought on things like this is maybe that the designers and engineers that built and designed the car and made the trim levels maybe had names for the trim but during the whole process of getting it into production and threw all the advertisment, it was all lost, but thats my thought, like the "big wigs" at pontiac probaly thought super sport edition sounded cheesy...idiots :pimp:

or in the case of our buddy Cody aka "Fuel", in light of a certain thread about him,

I'd say his SE stands for Sexualy Excited.
