My favorite in all regards is the C190 (Cosworth). It’s attainable, it’s the proper balance of fun and everything else that makes a Benz a Benz.
Most of them, while being good quality cars, are not fun. Not fun at all.
the C111 is my favorite, although it’s a concept car. But had the same production figures as the Gullwing. The Gullwing is pretty but I didn’t have fun in it. It’s like driving a Monet. You can’t have fun with it. Ever.
The 190SL was a REALLY pretty car and quite nice to drive, the 500K is also rewarding to be in.
But as far as ownership, each of those I mentioned $500k is the smallest price tag. So the 190 Cosworth.
Interesting, thanks.
To me the CLS 500 is beautiful, and for I think “only” a hundred grand or so... Lol!
You had a 300SL Gullwing? I thought I was lucky to just SIT in one once.
And yes, they should have put the C111 into production. An absolutely gorgeous, fascinating car. Most desirable Mercedes ever.
