Smile [Scans] Road & Track - M-B 500E

After seeing Christian's thread (that included an article on the 280E, the E500, & the E63), I decided to make a (quick) scan of an article I had from the May 1992 issue of Road & Track.

You mentioned you were going to post this, thanks..

As ree said, the 500E is actually pretty quick (or at least by my standards)

Wasn't it just after the introduction of the 500E that M-B purchased AMG?

Mercedes-AMG is the tuning arm of the Mercedes-Benz car company. Mercedes-Benz took a majority stake in AMG in 1999 (then called AMG-Mercedes) and has taken full ownership in 2005.

Cool...I'm not a Benz expert.

Although, I just checked...it looks like AMG worked out an agreement with M-B back in 1990. Under the terms of the deal, AMG products could be sold at M-B dealerships. Maybe, this is what I was thinking of...
