They do indeed, though you normally see them referenced by their full  
model numbers, ie, 2610, 2611, 2620,2621,2620XM, and so on. And yeah,  
it's fairly amusing, though probably just one of those cosmic  
coincidences, since their previous access router line was the 2500  
series, it was just a natural continuation.

What really starts to screw with you when dealing with Cisco series  
numbers is when you run into crap like the 1720 series being newer  
than the 2500 series and so on hehe, or even worse, in their  
enterprise class switching line, the 4500 series being newer and a  
hell of alot more robust than the 5500 series.
