Send an answer to a topic: Why is "Kompressor" not part of the model name for Mercedes?

It depends which generation. 1st gen. CLK there were 2 different CLK200 models, one was Kompressor, one wasn't. 2nd gen. CLK there were also 2 different ones, but the non-Kompressor model was only sold from 2003 to 2005 (according to Wikipedia). So the only CLK200 we can be 100% certain are Kompressor are the 2006-2009 models.

Done; what about CLK 200 ?
As I did it accidentally, but some already seemed to have it: should they have it or not?

OK, I'll check that
MisterZ
antp, in the mean time, can you add Kompressor to the ones that are missing it on these lists?

And for these 4, it should be moved to extra info:

Well, in the end, it's your call. It'd be good if we could get some input from others before you decide, though.
antp
I don't know; and as there is no clear consensus for that I'm tempted to chose the solution that requires the less changes
![:grin: :grin:](images/smileys/grin.gif)
MisterZ
antp, any decision yet on this? I still think it should be in the model name, but if you decide for it to be in the extra info, it should at least be added to all the ones in the lists I provided in my post above, and for the 4 in the last list be moved from the model name to the extra info.

The 'Kompressor' has always been a separate badge than the main one, like '4Matic' so I'm guessing that's why it stays in extra info rather than in the main name.
Isn't the CDI also a separate badge, though? How is it different?

MisterZ
Since 'Kompressor' means 'Turbocharged' isn't that more of an extra info thing than actually part of the name itself?
Yes, but the engine type has always been a part of Mercedes and BMW names. For example, we list the C200 CDI with the CDI in the model name, even though it just refers to the type of engine. Why not have that in the extra info? And before 1993, the "E" in 230E, 320E, etc. meant fuel injected. That could have been in extra info too, but it's not.
