The numbers typically reflect the gasoline engine displacement or performance level, providing a glimpse into the car's capabilities. For example, a Mercedes-Benz E 350 would suggest a model from the E-Class with a 3.5-liter engine.
Hmmm, ok thanks but It is not shedding light on the thing I’m looking for. There’s a really hot looking sporty car that is gorgeous, I was thinking it is “CLK” But maybe not. Then there’s that little sports car they stopped making about 2017, I had my eye on that one for a long time.

Then there was the SLK’s (?) sport cars of yesteryear. Is still very confusing. so maybe it is a S car, the ?special car.

But if you want me to explain Girl’s Club stuff to you such as diamond grading, I would be happy to tell you what G VVS2 means in the GIA world.
