      Well, Mercedes has decided its current naming scheme is too confusing so in order to ease confusion they are going to introduce new model names which will... confuse us. Ok, what was supposed to be the CLC (the baby CLS) will now be the CLA. CLC will instead denote the C-Class hatchback. What was supposed to be the GLC (X6 type SUV) will now be the GLA. The E-Coupe will likely be renamed CLE. The SUV's are likely to get renamed as well. We do not see how any of this is less confusing and we hope Mercedes abandons this nonsense. We will just wait for the official model names before trying to sort this mess out.

        Mercedes is probably looking at Intel for a confusing namesceme for their cars.
        Soon no housewife will know what car they drive.
        The name Mercedes should be sufficient for all non-car people.Click here to enlarge

        Mercedes is a funny company because on one side they have some of the baddest ass vehicles on the planet with the CLS63 AMG and all other new TT V8 motors... on the other side, they have $#@! like this and the C class 1.8L motors.
