Again, why is it such an automotive faux pas to actually brand a model with its correct displacement....I know C200 isnt as impressive as a C300, but isnt that damn near false advertising?? If Im buying a pound of ground beef and its only actually a 1/2 or 3/4 of a pound, I know Id be peeved off.How is it false advertising? The Germans have never been consistent about this.Benz used to be pretty consistant back in the 80's/90's AFAIR....BMW tooYeah a 325 had a 2.5, a 540 had a 4L....what was wrong with that??

The Germans have never been consistent about this.Because calling a 2 liter a 3 liter isnt what you would actually call correct right?? I know its a marketing exercise to make the people buying the base models feel better but I dont get it.

i'm sure they won't do it willingly. but forced into it because of strong competition and desire to gain back the marketshare lost to BMW and Audi.
