What does the R in SE-R stand for? For some reason I always thought it came from S*R*20DE......

The only reason I wondered about it is because the new SE-R has a 2.5 liter whatever and yet it still carries the SE-R badge. Up untill now the SE-R has always been the SR20DE, correct?

To my knowledge, up until now all SE-R's have been SR20DE.

See, I've always had the same impression. Now my question is, what makes this new Sentra an SE-R?

What does the R stand for or designate?

Sport Equipped? Sounds good. I had guessed maybe Special Edition?

Honestly, nothing.

Rather than come up with a new trim name, Nissan wisely chose to retain the classic SE-R name for the 2002 model. Your right, since the SR20DE was named SE-R, QR25DE should be a QE-R, or somethiing. But that just doesn't sound too well.

it probably doesnt have anything to do with the SR engines because the 91-94 sentra SE's were 1.6liter. and of course those were called GA16DE...

so most likely the SE is for Sport Edition and the R is for race (like many other manufacturer's "R"s)

or it could just be another meaningless nomenclature. what does XE and GXE really stand for anyways?

while were on it, what does G20 stand for? how about the infinti symbol? whats it mean?

LOL, that *does* sound funny... Like "Queer". I'm glad they're sticking with SE-R

Agreed. =) It could mean nothing, but like you, I always assumed that it meant Sport Edition - Race package.

I like saying it stands for "Special Edition - RACE pakage".
but "Rally" sounds nice, too.

 

[Limited Slip]

heh, "Rally" is a euphemism most manufacturers use to call their stripped-down barebone cars. see: Camaro and Integra RS (rally sport)

 

[Sr20 B12]

I always though it was Special Edition Racer. AHHHH, well! It still sounds better than SE (he, he, he)

G20 ..... Well, as the letters get higher, the more classy the car becomes. G20, (M30, J30 I30), QX4, and Q45. G being entry level. The numbers are the liter sizes of the engine. G20 (2.0 liter), M/J/I30 (3.0 liter), and Q45 (4.5 liter).

Very good, and the Symbol? I think it is symbolizing looking down a long, straight road, looking into the vansihing point.

Am I the only one who thinks that automakers stick random collections of letters on the backs of cars?

It's the mathematical symbol of infinity (horizontal 8) with a triangular section in the middle cut out.
