Default badging question

i heard what it stood for at one time long long ago but have since forgotten and on the monte carlo board many of us have tried to figure it out with no success...

the heck does SSEi stand for?

Super Sport Edition...and the i...i can't remember what the "i" stands for anymore.

heh...typical newbie question. According to GM the only trim level term that means anything is SLE (Sport Luxury Edition)

LE, SE, SSE, SSEi, give it yer best shot

super sexy edition for the SSE

super sexy ed ition for the SSEi

that'* what I refer to them as.. honestly I have found a lot of company'* make zero sense when they come up with trim levels.. they just pull random characters out of their ***.. except SSE sounds badass
