- Well, it looks like an old 240 because that is, in effect what it is. I
- can see you are not confused so much by the car as by the name. The '2'
- stands for 2-series. That's why it looks like a 240. The '6' is for the
- engine. The 260s had straight-six engines. The '5' refers to the body
- style, 5-door. Not really all that complicated. Hope it helps.
