Now we know what the initials stand for. :)
Hey guys 
I was reading a Korean car magazine ("Car Life") and I found these. I hope you find it interesting.
Lexus
IS (Individual Sedan)
ES (Elegant Sedan)
GS (Grand Sedan)
LS (Luxury Sedan)
RX (Recreational XC)
LX (Luxury XC)
SC (Sports Coupe)
MB
C (Compact)
E (Executive)
S (Super Salon)
I used to own a IS200 and IS300. I did not know what the IS stood for until now.
Have a great weekend!

IS - International Sedan
ES- Excecutive sedan (EVERYONE knows that)
GS- Gran Sport
Not sure about the RX, GX, and LX, but those do not sound right to me.

Sorry but the magazine did not mention the GX. I do not know why.
I can try and find out.

It's funny, I asked all Lexus dealers what they stood for and they didn't know.

IMO, I think that all luxury car names are just meaningless alphabet soup + engine size unless the meaning/name comes from the maker. All those articles from car mags are just interpretations (ie SC = sports convertible, 'right'), not much better then our own guesses.
If Lexus comes out with another car call say the BS. I can just see it already, Best Sedan, Bad A$$ Seden, and so on and on.
