[QUOTE="zan, post: 1061577, member: 9632"] invisible ghost was the right one. GT normally associates with big tourer cars like Bentley GT Continental, of Ferrari 456GT. manufacturers exploited the ideas of making compact GTs for higher sales. it all started with Golf MkI, having the first hot hatch then called GT. when VW started to use EFi, the 'i' suffix was added to differentiate MkI and MkII models. its also meant as marketing tools, when at that time very few cars are using EFI. international standards are using small letter 'i' to define EFi. examples are BMW 320i, Wira 1.6 XLi, Toyota Corona 2.0 GLi, Cressida GLi6. some cars are using E to say its an injection model. example mercedez benz. for W124, model 200 stands for 2.0 carb, 200E means it has EFi instead of carb and 250D shows its diesel powered. later in between 92-94, the E suffix became prefix like E220 Masterpiece. As Merc had launched their C class in 93, the 124 later was sold as the E class. Proton got many ppl surprised when they launched Saga 1.5I in 1986, and consumers were thinking that Saga had EFI engine. the 'I' suffix actually stands for Istimewa where it gained front power windows, power steering, power mirror, power door locks, semi bucket half seat, upgraded stereo, split fold rear seats, special cabin upholestry as well as body colours. proton again used capital 'I' in the Satria GTI, making their customers confused to no end whether this one refers to EFi or Istimewa. in the new millenium, again the letter 'i' is used to state the word intelligence. note VVTi and i-DSi. Alfistis do know that any Alfas bearing the emblem 'ti' is actually a GT.the italitan says it as Turismo Internazionale. refer to their website http://www.alfacentro.com/features/ti/ [/QUOTE]
