see, this is the problem with the new system - everything was clear in the old...now the same letters mean something else. M - something new - the SUV G - leftover from the old system: Galendewagen (cross country vehicle) R - also a leftover - Rennwagen (race car) SL - old system - sport leicht - light sport - or what we would call a sports car SLK - sport leicht (mit) Kompressor - with supercharger CLK - coupe leicht (mit) Kompressor THAT ALL MAKES SENSE, Until A class, c class, e class, m class - I HATE it SD - yes, it was what they call "S-CLASS" (tip of the evil system iceberg) - butit meands "sport deisel" sport in German is not sport in US - more like touring. as compared to 240D which is for putzing and taxi service (nor harm, meant, I have one and love it).
