What does CL stand for?

Do you know what CL stands for? I read the other day (can't remember where) that CL stands for Contemporary Luxury. If that is so what does TL and RL stand for? Transportation Luxury and Road Luxury maybe?

I think it stands for Coupe Legend. TL=Touring Legend? RL=????. Maybe I'll think of something for that R later in the day.

The crazy sales chick I had told me,
TL = Total Luxury
CL = Coupe Luxury
RL = Real Luxury

I think she made it up......

I've heard Contemporary Luxury, Road Luxury and Touring Luxury. I wonder what the RSX, MDX and NSX stand for...but my guess is their just letters pulled out of the air.

The 'RL' stands for 'Replacement Legend'
here in the states ;P In other countries
(excluding Canada), the RL still exists
with the pet name 'Honda Legend'.

Here's how they got MD-X:
MD is the code name used during development and the X is just to make it sound cool.

My little take:

RSX= Ricer Special type 'X' or Racing Special type 'X'

MDX= Mountain Driving type 'X'

NSX= Nascar Special type 'X'

Just pure speculation on these things but they make a little of sense. Right? Well.. maybe not. =)
