I own a 1992. I love this car. My blue is darker and more rich. I'm told its a rare color. Either way. I love it. Always wanted one.

They didn’t have an overdrive automatic either. There’s a few mistakes in here.

It's amazing how much the price of a modern Mercedes has fallen over the past decades. A base model E-class today is just over $62k in 2024.

Some believe this is the best sedan ever made. It is a good and definitely set the benchmark. I would also rate the Lexus LS430 at the top as well.

telescoping wheel and powered headrest in 1986? may have been the first!

One just has to google something like 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix to see why jaws dropped when the modern progenitor of the E-class appeared on roads in the USA.

Surprised to see it 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are slower than the 4 spd auto, I wonder if its associated with other factors such as track conditions and weather, or if the auto has more favorable gearing.

i would honestly disagree that the w124 has better proportions then the 190. i think the 190 is possibly the best looking sedan merc has build in the 80s and 90s. also why does he say an inline six is archaic? its better in every way than a V6 and putting a V6 in a rear wheel drive car (like quite a few automakers did) is just a much worse idea.

It will likely remain unrequited, they brought in 300 manuals in '86 and 300 in '88. That's it.

And the LS400 wasnt a match for the w140.. which it was designed to compete with. Not the w124 which was a much smaller and earlier car.
