I think it is TOURING LUXURY.

The Type S stands for SPEED
The Type R stands for RACING

You're doing wonders for the collective opinion of you and your IS300 brethren.

I think it stands for Troll Land.

Trounces Lexus?

Trammles Lincolns?

Treads Lightly?


During the mid-late 90's Acura slump, my salesmen buddies had it as follows:

TL - Total Loser
RL - Real Loser
CL - Complete Loser

How times change....

I think it stands for "Americans like cars with inexplicable two-letter trim designations".

All these cars are called with real names elsewhere in the world....

3.5RL = Honda Legend
3.2TL = Honda Inspire/Saber

Somehow the name "Legend" sounds phenomenal....JMHO

Let's say we rename the line:

CL: Class Loser

TL: Totally Limitless

RL: Road Leader

How 'bout these for the Civic:
HX = half extras
LX = lots of extras
EX = extra extras

Buick = built using inferior construction knowledge
