For 25 years I was lucky enough to drive practically all new Mercedes-Benz models even before they went on sale. After that time, this and the C43 Wagon were my absolute favorites. After years of too many 240Ds, the original 190E was a breath of fresh air, but this was a very much deeper breath, created by fierce rivalries in the German DTM race series. The rear wing may look a little boy-racer-ish, but it was there to be homologated, so it was functional. I've like old Porsches for years, but this was my favorite car from that era.
