the letters are just model designations. no different than what Toyota does with 4Runner, Corolla, Camry, Avalon, etc.

Hi Silhouette! I just feel free to "hijack" your post a bit. I am also newly registered on this board, while I was lurking in for some time by now, and want to introduce me. I think this site is one of the best Merc-Forums on the net. And as I am a Mercedes-Fan (while not driving one at the moment for... emm... private reasons - or let's say money. ) I'm really happy to be a member of this board. Hello to everyone!
