Default Letter Designations ?

Really didn't know where to post this, but since I have a C Class I'll give it a shot here.
Where can I go to find out what all the MB letter designations stand for? M, A, C, CLK
SLK and so on. Any information on the # designations would also be helpful.

Thanks

i do know a few of them

K short
E fuel injection
S sport
C compact
L lightweight
D diesel
this is what they originally meant in the begining.
dont have an M or an A for you but usually they mean something in German. If someone does know let me know. thanks. Im sure someone has the answer. They teach you that at Benz school I just dont have all the notes on that.

Yeah I know what you mean. I think C used to be Coupe also. But obviously C is also a sedan and coupe now.
