    Wasn't the conclusion 'Silvia X' or some shit?

    Something to do with the owner of Nissan naming it after his wife or daughter or summit, and putting an X on the end just because he's cool.....

    It doesn't mean fcuk all mate.

    What does LX, S, C, LS etc mean on other cars? Nothing.

    Out of interest does anyone know what 2CV stood for on the old citroen contraptions?
