Just what in the hell does SE and LE mean? I know what STE and GTP are, considering those are kind of obivous, but what about SE and LE?!!?!?!? GRRR :evil:

I thought it was

Luxury Edition

Sport Edition

 

I'm pretty sure that's not what LE stands for, considering there's nothing luxurious about an LE..

What does GTP stand for? Grand Touring Prix? I know STE is Special Touring Edition.. Also, the SSE designations on Bonnevilles.. (I know the "i" is supercharged :) )

GTP is Grand Touring Package as far as I know. SSEi is.. uh.. Supercharged Special Edition something. I don't know about SLE.

SSEi can't stand for that because theres an SSE package, and that doesnt have the L67. I think its like Super Sport Edition like the old Impalas.

i see LE - not as limited or luxury. many were produced, especially the majority of the 4-doors. "lame edition" since it had very few options.

 

i see SE - "special edition" because it often came with aluminum wheels, power locks and windows. sometimes power seats and random other options.

 

GTP im sure is Grand Touring Package. because GTs are Grand Touring. that dates back to the 60s. they have all can have all options, but more importantly, have the power and suspension tuning to make for a hassle free, yet sporty drive over long distances.

I think the 88-90 GP SE's were Sport Editions.. Why do I say that?

 

Well consider this fact:

 

There were SE "Special Editions'

 

So a regular SE mean's Sport Edition. And if they were Special Editions , it was called out on the side of the car.

 

Hence a White SE "Special Edition". I know in 93 there was white, green, blue and maybe red "Special Editions"

I'm with gearhead. I believe that if a GP actually is a "Special Edition" it would have that labeled on the car as "Special Edition" and not SE. Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't there pretty much always been the upGraded "Special Edition" models on the GP? It was pretty much the GTP on pre-97, and everything minus the Supercharger on 97+. So in this case the SE and LE's were just ways to say that Pontiac had two base models in LE and SE, and also the upGraded GT and GTP models.
