And 'LEXUS' stands for?

"Luxury Export for the United States"

[lelandv]

standard and Standard Executive

Of course, not all markets use the "S", "SE", and "SE-L" designators...

My IS200 is an "SE", but in the market in which it was purchased it's the "Pack".

Standard specification "S" has no designator.

SE-L has the designator "Pack Luxe"

trust the french to come up with something as cryptic as that..

I thought SE would mean special edition...... and the S as standard. However the IS does not mean Intellignet Sport. Not sure why there seems to be a debate on that.
