And yep, it's just marketing, they try and stand out. I liked Colin's explanation of the names, good call sir! LOL, M45, Mucho as in Mucho dinero!

I think they were on 21 then (still have that cassette too!). It was right after the movie Days of Thunder came out and they had a song in the movie. Ok I love trivia - what was the first hit?

Infiniti, Mercedes, and Lexus uses the alphabet so that the lower the letter, the higher the class. Acura seems to have no pattern.
As someone else pointed out, the numbers generally point to the displacement of the engine (rounded up), but not always. The new Lexus RX400h has (I believe) the same 3.3 liter as the RX330, but the electric engine makes it perform more like a 4.0 liter engine. So car designations are becoming more like computer processor designations where the number is more of a relative performance indicator than the actual displacement. In the new BMW 3-series, the 330 and 325 both have a 3.0 liter engine.
