sometime after 1990 MB changed their monikers to reflect the "class" of car, C became the compact class to compete with honda etc. E became the mid range class and S became the full on luxury class. the SL stayed the same, but they added in the cl and the SLK etc for the sport cars. at the same time, BMW popularity caused MB's to use the numerics to also reflect their status as well. thus the "300" with a 2.5 or 2.6 motor etc.
