You think Lexus is difficult? Try Mercedes:
SL= sportlich, leicht (sport, light)
SLK = sportlich, leicht, kompact (or kurtz, which means short)
SLR = sportlich, leicht, rennsport (sport, light, racing)
CL = comfort leicht
CLK = comfort leicht kompact
CLS = comfort leicht saloon
C = Compact (it's an English abbreviation, when introduced in 1993, by DaimlerChrysler)
E = Einspritzung (actually stands for "fuel injection" )
S = Sonderklasse (Special Class)
G = Geländewagen (stands for cross-country wagon)
GL = well, here's the deal. The GL-Class was supposed to replace the G-Class, but decided to keep both in 2006. The L differentiated the two vehicles.
M = no particular meaning. Perhaps Midsize SUV, made by DaimlerChrysler.
R, A, and B = no particular meanings.
