what does 'si' stand for?

[lj17]

ok, i don't want to hear a bunch of crap if you consider this a dumb question. i just want to know if someone can tell me what it stands for, if anything. i have a few guesses, but want to save myself of any embarassment. thanks

sports injection. it goes back to the 3rd gen days when all civics were carburated, except for the si's which had fuel injection.

Sport Injected is what it actually means...


I believe these are what these mean:


EX - Executive
DX - Deluxe



As for BMW...

they did the similar thing and used to have the 'iS' to show it was coupe...


i - 4 door injected
e - 4 door carb
iS - injected 2 door sports
eS - carb 2 door sports
iL - injected 4 door luxury long wheel base
iX - All wheel drive for E30 3 Series
iT - 2 door touring hatch (for 3 series) / all wheel drive for E39 5 Series
LTW - Lightweight (for special edition 95-99 E36 M3)
After the E46 3 Series, E60 5 Series, and E65 7 Series came out, they switched the lettering around to:


Ci - Coupe injected
Ci(c) - Cabrio injected
iX - Coupe or Saloon All wheel drive injected
i - injected 4 door
Li - long wheel base luxury injected
CSL - Coupe Sport Lightweight (for E46 M3)


M3 - Motorsport 3 (S14 E30, S50/S52 E36, S54 E46)
M5 - Motorsport 5 (S38 E28, S38 E34, S62 E39, S?? E60)

Yeah the "e" does stand for eta however in the earlier days the "i" was to mark a breakthrough for BMW in fuel injection cars..


the 325e has more torque than an i however



anything with a "d" marks for diesel


And I don't know why DXs are called Deluxes....i'm guessing because it was a marketing scheme.

 

[banzai]

strange, I was expecting a couple people to say it meant 'slow import', good stuff

 

[PANGES]

sports injection: Didnt know that
what about the EX?

EX= Extreme Xpensive for a car with only around 130 hp

 

[solidsnake]

at least no one said "stupid import"

or "sexy import" lol



my all-time least favorite Si acronym is: Shitty Interiour

 

[WiggerMan]

woot i always wanted to know this but could never remember to ask

 

[solidsnake]

What I want to know is what "NSX" meant..


I know CRX means Civic Renaissance Experimental

 

[sookybomb]

i thought it stood for the latino driver that first test drove the car and when he pulled offthe track as he pulled up to the honda developers he was screaming "Si!,Si!".....i may be wrong though.
