What's with the lines?
« on: 22 August 2017, 19:02:47 »
Audi have for some while had the S-line,Ford recently introduced the ST-line.Mercedes do an AMG-line,Kia[or is it Hyundai?]do a GT-line and Peugeot I'm told also do a -line model.What is it all of a sudden with these "lines"?Have they run out of names to call them or just run out of imagination?

It means "looks like but does not go like".

Quite why people would want it this way around is beyond me. I'm more a sleeper type of guy.

Manufacturers have always given their trim levels stupid names: how is Aardvark-line any worse than 'merit', 'elite' or 'popular plus'? Or Ford's Ghia or GT-XLR?

I know they've always had model designations[some more stupid/outlandish than the others]I was just wondering why they all now seem to need a .....-line.

Been around since late 90's  :y

Just a way of product line up, targeting various customers with certain types. All of these lines have been standard and out there for a few decades now?
