I'm guessing that they were concerned that someone wouldn't pay the price difference to go from the SLK300 to an SLK350. But if you are going from an SLK280 to an SLK350, there ought to be a big price difference, right?

So now that they souped up the 350 to give it some extra horses, they don't mind calling the 280 a 300 because the extra money for a 350 can be justified on the extra horses.

Just a guess.
