What do the model names mean?

Anyone know what the Opel model names stand for?

E.G GSi, SXi, CDTi (Common Diesel Turbo Injection?), CDX, SRi.

[KID_SRi]

They Mean:
SRi = Sports Refinement Inject.
CD = Company Director
CDX = Company Director Xtra
CDti = Company Director Turbo Injec.
SXi = Special Xtras Inject.

Theres a few more in there somewhere, But thats all I remember atm.

Car manufacturers sure seem to have a thing for the word 'injection' lol, looks like it's a mandatory inclusion at the end of any designation, they must have been real eager and happy to see the good ol carburators go out of fashion :)

Maybe they are over componsating for something with the word " Injection"

I think it's more a marketing thing - make it sound good and it'll sell lol :)

[RudeOne]

Im just shit sturring... I know. Like SS-V and SS in the commodore range. More then Likely they mean nothing. And are just Variant Codes.

I think they grabbed the V from Cadillac in the US - don't they have the CTS-V etc etc?

[Shaun]

Yeah they do i think. But the V in the Commodores is the upmarket / or Sporter versions.

I still believe they are just Variant codes on the Astra.But if anyone can find out or actually tell us would be good

Yep, spot on Pete. The V design is almost identical too.

And to answer the SS query... It stands for Super Sport. Used throughout GM on various models.
