GS I'm not sure on but I think I've also thought it was Grand Sedan for some time. I'm also of the thought that ES was for Executive Sedan but again I could be wrong.
I assume SC is Sport Coupe because it seems the most obvious.
In short, I'm only sure about IS because I remember how dumb I thought it was ... "Intellegent Sport" you gotta be kidding

I can go all night thinking of possible definitions, but the real one is "Sport Coupe."

It means nothing. When they started up the Lexus line, Toyota chose to follow the "Letter-Letter-Displacement code" nomenclature started by Acura's alphanumeric names (hated by many at the time it started up).
Interesting article about this phenomenon. I love the line "Remember when cars had names?"
The only thing worth knowing (until someone can quote/reference a Toyota executive explaining otherwise) is:
Altezza = IS
Windom = ES
Aristo = GS
Celsior = LS
Soarer = SC
Harrier = RX
Land Cruiser Prado = GX
Land Cruiser Cygnus = LX

Great article. I always have trouble with the Mercedes names.
