Thanks; was also wondering about C & E.
Does "S" mean the same thing for an S-class...while not untrue I guess, it's not the first attribute that comes to mind when I think of an S-class.

the C was introduced as compact and took the place of the 190-series. the E took the place of the 300 series and the S took the place of the 500/600 series. E was used because 300E was before and they just switched the letter to the front. same with the S. it gets a little confusing with the coupes and roadsters. although, SL has been around forever and CL took the place of the S coupe. basically, the C means coupe and the L is for luxury. not sure about the CLK, or the upcoming CLE.

a few others:
ML= multi-activity-vehicle luxury
SLR= super light racing
i thought A was for the class of vehicle it is in.
TD= turbodiesel

The letters can have more than one meaning
TD is touring,diesel/station wagon.T is the body style,not the turbocharger.
SD is sedan,diesel.
CD is coupe,diesel.
K can also signify "kurz",or short.
Einsprizung is fuel injection.
A lot of confusion is created when different meanings are attached to the same letter..."L" can stand either for light or long,"C" could be either an '80s coupe or a newer C-class....the same letter can have an entirely different significance depending on the car it's on.

Ahh that makes sense
Okay That helps me. I wondered if the L in my SDL meant Luxury but since it has the same standard features and upgrade options of a SD except it has a lot more leg room I'm guessing its for long.
Luxury may just be an understood value of MB cars.
Thanks

oh, i guess dt is for turbo diesel. i could have sworn td is for turbodiesel, at least in the us. on newer wagons, it has no extra letter after the model insignia.

No
"T" is for the body style:Touring/station wagon.Case in point:early 300TDs were diesel station wagons without turbos.(Can you say SLOW?).MBZ 123 chassis Turbodiesel sedans and coupes were SD or CD...Newer E-class wagons are designated TE.The only stock badging I've ever seen alluding to forced induction is the current "Kompressor" emblem.This may not be true in other markets,so don't take it as gospel.
