What does the English name 'line' mean?

line is a model kit under the Volkswagen brand. Below is an introduction to model kits: 1. In fact, there are many standard car models equipped with sport kits in the automotive industry, such as BMW's M Sport models, Mercedes-Benz's AMG Sport models, and Audi's S-line models. These models are all equipped with sport kits. Generally, sport kits include exterior and interior components. Exterior components consist of front and rear bumpers, side skirts, brake calipers, wheels, spoilers, etc. Interior components include seats, seat belts, steering wheels, etc. 2. Models equipped with sport kits appear more sporty in both exterior and interior compared to standard models, making them highly popular among young consumers. The cost of equipping sport kits is relatively low because models with sport kits share the same powertrain and chassis as standard models, with only differences in exterior and interior styling.
Last time at the repair shop, I overheard the mechanic casually mention this term. In the automotive world, 'line' actually has two meanings. The most intuitive one refers to the waistline on a car's body, like the smooth, streamlined design of certain sports cars that reduces wind resistance and enhances aesthetics. The other meaning is the production line. Our workshop has a sign that says 'Lean Production Line,' referring to the entire process from parts assembly to the final vehicle rollout. I remember a classic car model was directly named GT Line, highlighting its design and sporty performance. In daily driving, the markings on the road are also called lane lines, which are directly related to driving safety.
Having run a modification shop for fifteen years, the word 'line' is on my lips every day. Customers always ask how to design the body decal lines, but in fact, the direction of the lines directly affects the visual proportions of the entire car. Additionally, when wiring for audio modifications, 'power line' refers to the layout of the power circuit—haphazard wiring can easily blow fuses. Once, while modifying a car for a foreign owner, he explained that 'Line' in the car's name often represents the trim level in English, much like the suffix for a sport edition model. Even when queuing for a car wash, it's called 'in line,' yet these everyday scenario terms are easily overlooked by most.
