I know that SE is for Special Edition but, how about these?

They might mean nothing other than to signify differences between various levels of a car. If you go on the manufacturers website, you will see that the cars are likely designed in various configurations of standard trim. For example: If you order a DX, that might come standard with automatic transmission, leather power seat, and moon roof. You can also get those things on an EX, but would have to add them as an option.

depends on car maker and the type of car. a DX on one car can be different then a DX on another car.

they don't really mean anything anymore. They are just used to deferentiate between luxury levels within the same model. (Also known as 'trim' levels to most car people.)For example: Corolla CE, S, LECE- base model, S- Sport Model, LE-luxury/top of the line

The significance was lost years ago. It used to refer to a frame or body design or even an engine type. Today, it really just signifies the model within a design. The letters infer luxury, Deluxe and Extra....Years ago, Chrysler used "LH" when they introduced cab-forwarding. Some people referred to "LH" as "Last Hope" as Chrysler was in poor shape back then.

Usually they stand for a vehicles trim level. In example; The 2007 Ford Edge has three trim levels:Edge SE (base)Edge SEL (base + options)Edge SEL PLUS (base + SEL options + premium options)You can get certains options on certain trim levels and the highest trim level you are able to get the most options. Some options include DVD based Nav systems, satellite radio, leather seats and/ or bluetooth connectivity depending on car manufacturer. All trim levels will vary between car types and manufacturers as well. Also the names or acronyms will vary at the end of a car name.

LX for LuxuryEX for ExecutiveDX for Deluxe

TrimsCoupe: Trims available in the coupe body style were the DX, EX, HX and Si (only 1999 and 2000) (designated as the EJ6/8/7 and EM1, respectively). Hatchback: Trims available in the hatchback body style were the CX and the DX (EJ6). Sedan: Trims available in the sedan body style were the DX, LX (EJ6) and EX (EJ8).The CX was the lightest and did not have features such as a sunroof, which made it even lighter. In Canada, the EX was called the Si and the Si was called the SiR. EnginesAll CX, DX and LX models used the D16Y7. The HX had the D16Y5 and the EX had the D16Y8. The Si used the B16A2.as you can see they dont really stand for anything with honda..just a classification.
