I always thought it stood for "Sports Rated" as in "LX" meaning "Luxury Sport" which was just Fords way of saying the LX has for example slightly harder suspension rates than say the popular plus.

e.g.

L = Luxury
X = Sport
G = Grand

or

GLX = Grand Luxury Sport.

And to whoever put that tag, well done look how big you are by slating it because it is not an RS, yet if it wasnt for some of the XR models we wouldnt have some of the RS models we love today, thats why we should care.
