Reader-submitted Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16

Wonderful car. We only wish we saw more of these, given that they’re pretty uncommon (especially in the States— maybe less so on the Continent). Certainly, they’d have to be on anybody’s short list for an interesting, satisfying older driver- ours included.

Thanks for the photo, Erhardt!

Did they even sell these in The US? I thought we only got the original 2.3 Cossie.

- actually, i think that’s correct. i keep coming back to this one- one of my favorite ‘real world’ examples that i’ve seen:

that’s a very clean example of the 2.3 – it actually looks like that one might have one of the EVO’s side skirts. I’m a big BMW guy but man these things are such good deals right now.

Just like the E30 M3 Evo I and II – us Yanks didn’t get the best models!

Yeah we only got the 2.3- they had the 2.5 everywhere else, including Canada. Sweet cars!
