Been surfing through the forum, but didn't find the meaning of those three letters anywhere.
These oriƫntal brands usualy have an meaning behind them ... like the BBC Topgear Liana, ment "Life in a new age" ... (owned one, not realy so). What does the PCX stand for? If you don't know, make one up.

Papa's Crazy Xcited?

Here is another thread that answered that about a year ago ... but I had not seen it yet ... so, the question remains, what does xaloon mean?

I guess it stands for saloon, as in a dubble lazy chair, or in refference to a saloon car ? ...
I think they made up the letters and afterwards they gave em a meaning ...

Well they can choose between many, our little country counts about 1200 different "original" beers.

My take would be a simple collection of hard consonants. Hard consonants are generally the only ones used in short vehicle names that require a sporty name like GT, GTX, S. STI, etc.

Probably has no meaning.

Vehicle letters used to have meanings once upon a time.
GT stands for Grand Tour

Depends if you're French or Italian.
