SC = Sport Coupe
LS = Luxury Sedan
GS = Grand Touring Sedan
IS = Intermediate Sedan
ES = Entry Level Sedan

Something along those lines....you can look at the pricepoints on each vehicle, and see where it fits in the market niche

"Entry" and "Intermediate" are big no-no's in marketing speak . ES is Executive Sedan, and IS is International Sedan. GS is Gran Sedan or Grand, whatever.
