What does the X mean on the BMW X5, or the Q on Audi’s Q7? No one knows. Some people still maintain lettering has a point. Mercedes’ CLS apparently means coupé, light and sporty. Whereas SLK means sporty, light and, er, something else.
It was so much clearer in the past. GL was Grand Luxe, whereas GT stood for Grand Tourer. And L meant you weren’t very good at your job. But then along came the E. So now we had the GLE, which was a Grand Luxe sprinkled with Executive dust. So think of it as a car with real vinyl seats and a Newton’s Cradle on the dashboard.
