Most of these letters that follow the brand name refer to the different packages that where available at the time the car was made. Some refer to Sports packages or high performance models others might refer to one that has all the available features such as power windows seats and so forth. Hope This Helps, EzForJesus
AnswerI believe they are RPO codes (Regular Production Options).Some cars have taken on nicknames of sorts due to this. An example is people referring to Camaro and Firebirds as having LS1's, which is referring to the engine.
Sometimes manufacturers use them for marketing. WS6, Z06, Z28, etc. (As you can see, I'm f/y-body biased, hah!) as package option codes.
gl means grand lux mg - Morris garages gt-grand tourer this was on most older cars
Mercedes - SLK. The S stands for Sport (sports car), L stands for Light (light weight) and K stands for Kompressor (supercharger). All MB's with superchargers will have the Kompressor logo on them somewhere. Either on the side or rear.
The SLK letters on a Mercedes Model designated the class or series the car is in. The S means the model is a sports version. The L is for light, and the K means kompressor.
The letters e.g CLS is the model. The letters at the end usually mean the engines cubic capacity e.g the SLK 55 has a 5.5 litre engine. The cgi means that it is a diesel and if a d is on the end it also means diesel.
On my amg slk32 the name of the engine builder is right on top the motor in plain sight.

Well the SLK 32AMG is quite fast for the older body style. and the new SLK 55 AMG is INCREDIBLY fast!!! No joke! They stuffed a V-8 in that little car.
I purchased a 1998 slk in good condition with 50k miles for 8k in California 2009.
The SLK has a timing chain which lasts much longer than a belt.
The 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class has 24 valves.
