The history of the 190

[grober]

There's a very comprehensive article on the eMercedesBenz site about the history of the 190 MODEL [W201] for anyone interested? Mercedes-Benz History: Ten Years with the W 201 “Baby Benz” | eMercedesBenz

Is it me or can you see where the inspiration for the W204 came from?

Most definitely. They even used a member over on the 190 forums, mint 17,000 mile 2.5-16 to sit along side the 204 at its UK launch. The same car that was on show at MB world for a year or so.

MB's bid to try and get across that quality and engineering is back at the top of their agenda.

It certainly is IMO.
I sat in a W212 E250 CDi, fantastic car, really well built and I want one.
The W124 is inspiration for the W212 IMO.
