After teaching Mom, sis, girlfriends, etc. all about Mercedes and BMW's model numbering systems, they go and get sloppy on me. Now-days, they ignore it completely. ALL THAT TIME, WASTED
I would rather they called it the 250D - everywhere. Mercedes started doing this back in the 60s, though, so I guess the system never was pure.
