Quotenah, i like the airbags and abs just fine.

Actually, i don't have ABS, are the brakes on the '96 dx in the rear disc or drum?  I've never replaced those...
The rear are definitely drum, since the 2002's rears were still drum.
I jumped into this thread, what kind of car are you talking about? By the DX extension I'm thinking Civic or Camry, perhaps?
I'm fairly sure we were talking about the Honda Civic.  When he said DX, I assumed Civic, and I was referencing my friend's 2002 Civic (the greatest handling car of all time, according to him, but he went from a 91 Regal to that, so I should forgive him  :rolleyes: ) when I said they still had rear drums.

It is definitely an Accord.

Why the hell do all these different cars use the same trim extensions? Sure there are a limited number of letter combinations involving X (since they all love the letter X) but try something else!

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

Toyota moved away from "x", the only major brands that still use that designation consistently are Honda and Hyundai.

XLE, XLS, XL, XRS, XR... those are all being used right now.

And Infiniti, and Lexus, and BMW.

My Accord, although the thread was originally about a Lex, I think.

I forgot about the Toyotas, but they aren't used across the board. And the X in BMW, Lexus, and Infiniti is an AWD designation, not really a trim name.

What about the FX and QX, both are available with RWD.

Don't forget Ford with the XLT lines of its Explorers, F-series, etc.  :thumbsup:

They also use XL and XLS of course.

TBR

GMC also uses the XL designation.

ifcar

"XL" almost makes sense, as "Extended Length". X is commonly used for AWD, Infiniti also picked it up to differniate its alphanumerical cars from SUVs (there is no FX35 x).

Forgot Ford.

It all makes sense, but I am just pointing out that more than just Honda and Hyundai still use X based designations.

Jeep also uses it.

ifcar

Honda uses it most, except for the Ridgeline's "RT" I believe every Honda trim has an "X".

giant_mtb

So just about every major manufacturer uses X.  We got it.  :D
