| Re: Sport Auto: Tuned Mercedes' (old article!) Just read it. Interesting old article. M. Schumacher looks very young in these pictures, and very '80s.  The AMG 190E won and is the best compromise, the Brabus is supposedly the most comfortable, the Carlsson has a lot of weaknesses (handling / suspension) and the 190E EVO (stock car) is the sportiest. |

I was quite interested in this review myself. From that bunch, I have to say the 190E Evo looks the best visually. It also is the sportiest drive according to review but strangely isn't as comfortable as the AMG 190E.  The Brabus should't really be compared though since it is a W124 E-Class, not a W201 190-Series. | |
