Just Curious......
I'm too lazy to STFF to be honest, lol, but why isn't my 06 C230 a C250....since it has a 2.5L engine, not a 2.3L???

The numbers on the rear are the sales designation, not the engineering number. They change the number only when they want to call attention to an improvement over a previous model year. Like the new C350 Bob, ...hehe
