"It is an Italian phrase originally used by Ferrari to denote a grand touring car assembled with components from various models made by the same manufacturer."
I got that from here. http://www.southjerseynews.com/class...ar020801a.html
DeLorean and Co stole the name from Ferrari in 1964 just to screw with them.

Good research, Azwed. You're gonna come in handy around here I'd never heard that story, and I've been a GTO fan for YEARS. (just how many years will remain classified

Pontiac seems to love GT.... Grand Am GT, Grand Prix GT, Fiero GT, Sunfire GT, ...
But The Bonnies have their own style..... My self and Tamara will dissagree on the meaning, But I am quite sure that SSE stands for Sports Sedan Edition... as chevy wears the SS designation.... And like Will says the i is for induction, force fed....
I remain firm, and it makes the most sense if you look at it, and really thing about the model meanings. here goes. Just becase the SE was first in SE, does not mean that the meaning for the * there has to be the same as the first * in SSESE- Sport Edition
SLE- Super Luxury Edition
SSE- Super Sport Edition
SSEi- Super Sport Edition i (latin for SUPERCHARGED)
Super sport edition inducted? induction? naaaaaah....that dosn't cut it for me

The "i" stands for induction! But Will was the closest!
SE > Special Edition
SSE > Special Sports Edition
SSEi > Special Sports Edition Induction
SE > Special Edition
SSE > Special Sports Edition
SSEi > Special Sports Edition Induction

But, following your reasoning, this means that all the other companys with the same trim levels have to have them different. Think of all the SLE'*, and SE'* out there. What do they stand for? Seduction Edition? Super seduction? Sucky Edition? Sucky limited edition?
