    Default one of my favorite lesser-appreciated cars EVAR.

    Mercedes 190E Evo II. so sessy. I really like the W201 chassis, and i know where a minty bone stock 190 is, too

    only 502 made, 1-500 in black-blue metallic, and 501-502 in Astral Silver. All 502 were sold out before it was even unveiled... and for $80 grand a pop.

    N/A 2.5L 16-valve inline 4 that made 235bhp... ride height was adjustable from a switch inside the cabin. Oh, and dont knock the adjustable wing - it was wind tunnel tested to reduce drag to 0.29 and simultaneously obviously increased downforce. Basically it was a racecar with 4 doors, woodgrain, and leather

    keep in mind this was unveiled in 1990. Do want!

    I love these, a guy up the street has a replica minus the wing. I want a real one.

    Depends what kind you want. You can find good condition ones for around $7,000 to $10,000. The majority were automatic (It is a Merc ) but there are manuals spread amongst them.

    Funny I don't remember the Evo back in the day, I only remember the the 190e 2.3-16 It had the front and a smaller wing but I didn't think it had fender flares either.

    I've never heard of or seen this car before. I'd like to drop-kick the wing (I understand that it's functional, but it looks plain silly and the car is only pushing 235 hp), but I'd rock it nonetheless.

    I saw one similar to that one but less aggressive in lawrenceville, It was just widebody all white along with stock white AMG looking wheels. It was pretty sweet!
