It was probably a DX with certain options. Remember on the DX, LX, SE, EX certain options are standard depending upon what model you get. But all of those options are available to any model. It just costs more and less of a headache for the salesman. You can get a DX or LX with an optional sunroof, but it's simpler to buy an SE, or EX.
Nissan does the same thing.
