I need help!
Answer
They mean whatever the manufacturer decides they mean and sometimes they don't mean anything. There is no standard. Sometimes these letters are just letters...
Generally speaking, GT means "Grand Tourisme" or "Granturismo" and denotes a sporty version. GL means "Grand Luxe" or "Granlusso" and denotes a luxury version. SS means "Super Sport" and denotes a high performance model. GTO means "Granturismo Omologato" and denotes a limited-edition very high-performance model.
Note that these names are usually in French or Italian, but there is no rule here either.
My favorite were the old Omni GLH and GLHS which supposedly stood for "Goes Like Hell" and "Goes Like Hell Somemore".

To those who know about cars very well. I will choose best answer?
Q. I just asked this very same question awhile ago, and I only received one answer. The answer was fine, but it didn't answer all my questions.
I have 3 cars in mind.
Brand New Honda accord sedan EX, Brand New Toyota Camry SE, and a used 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320.
All cars cost the same. 24K.
I don't like the inside design of the Camry. And I don't like the design of the dashboard of the Honda accord. But everything about the Mercedes is fantastic.
If I choose the Mercedes, will insurance per month or year cost more than the Honda and the Toyota just because it is a Mercedes?
Also, the Mercedes only has 30K Mileage on it, which is good.

Answer
Repair costs on the Benz will eat you alive. Even something as simple as small routine maintenance is an arm and a leg. Also, be careful, you are coming close to the 30K inspection/mainenance interval. Insurance on the Benz will still be more in general due to the price/cost of replacement parts.
That leaves the Honda, and the Toyota. The Accord EX is more of a luxury model and the Camry SE is the sports edition. I am not sure why you are looking at the different designs. Anyway, both are very practical, fuel efficient (Toyota slightly better), and inexpensive to own and maintain. Both are relatively new in design and will look fresh for a few years. However, when you go to trade them, the Toyota will maintain the better resale value, look at the Camry XE, or XLE for yet better resale value.
