Why is the cruise control stalk configured the way it is? Simple, Jay, one word: Lineage. My first car was a 1978 W123 Coupe. You found the cruise stalk on the left side (US version) just above the signal stalk. How many cars in 1978 had cruise control? These cars led the way in innovation. The W202s just carried that same configuration along from it's W201 predecessor. Today, in my wife's 2019 GLA250 the stalk is on the left, just below the signal lever. Still works the same way. Push Up (towards roof)=Accelerate/Set; Down=Coast/Set, Push Away= Think ''STOP' Cancel, and pull toward you, think come back or 'Resume'. It becomes intuitive with driving. Use the cruise in a modern Mercedes it has roots from 40+ years ago....LINEAGE!

I always loved the "oreo cookie" dials Mercedes uses. Would love to have an original AMG Hammer. When it came out, car magazines threw every car they could find at it. It laughed at one rival after another and ate BMW and Ferrari's fastest cars for lunch. Rumors swarmed around Italy that Enzo Ferrari was NOT happy to hear his Testarossa couldn't catch it. Then came the most outrageous thing: it caught a Lamborghini Countach. I was shocked when I read that article. The magazine thought it was a fluke so they did long range radar gun tests by having both cars try to cover one mile as quickly as possible. Nope, no fluke. The Hammer came out on top. Mercedes tried for a looong time to produce their own. In 1999 to the shock of many, the mighty company Daimler-Benz (the parent company of Mercedes) admitted defeat and instead, bought out the AMG brand entirely. Well, at least AMG has the financial and employee support of Mercedes...

The 500E isn't an AMG, nor is it a 'Hammer'. The only thing the 500E has in common with the Hammer is that it's a W124. The 500E was a Mercedes and Porsche collaboration to make a top-of-line performance E Class sedan, before Mercedes and AMG started working together in manufacturing cars and MB bought AMG. Before this, AMG was a tuning shop (like Brabus or Alpina for BMWs), and the Hammer was a colloquial name for what a W124 chassis Mercedes became if a large percentage of the AMG performance, cosmetic, and interior parts were fitted.

I had a C43 and loved it because it was a real Q car and has aged a lot better looks wise than the equivalent M3 of the time in my view. It also had a fantastic engine sound, great V8 burble. The rarest version is the 5.5 liter version you could get by official conversion from the C43 to C55. Issues with the car as well as rust was the gearbox and torque converter could fail if the transmission oil was not changed ( cost me £3000) and the crankshaft position sensor could start to fail which meant it would not start when warm.. which got progressively worse. Also most electrics had issues. Finally if you get one of these they have a soft accelerator pedal and there was an aftermarket plug in device done by a guy in Greece I recall that sharpens it up immensely. It just plugs in under the bonnet. Loved mine, but was better for going between roundabouts on dual carriageways than the twisties.

It displays not matters to much how the steering felt. The chassis, can take a mid corner change, with no issue. Following the line that the driver impose, is what the merc engineering did to the suspension. The steering is like that, so that at cruise, you will not have to always correct the line. Is so relaxing, and it makes it a grate fast tourer.

There were 3 stages of this AMG 190E class. Evolution I. was narrow body with standard rear wing and EVO II. was wide body with huge wing. I loved it and consider this one as core of AMG roots in means of non-racing production. Last year was auctioned one of these and price was pushed up to universe figures ....

There were a few before the AMG 190 but the W202 C36 AMG was the first car codeveloped with Mercedes. Prior to that AMG was a aftermarket tuning company a lot like Brabus is now. The Evo 190 1/2 had no input from AMG and used a 4 pot developed in conjunction with Cosworth. The AMG 190 used a 3.2 6 cylinder engine and was very much AMG’s own thing.

Congratulations on hitting the 30,000 mark, Jay! You deserve every bit of it and more! As to the AMG badge, I believe it was started by a former Mercedes engineer and when it was successful, it was bought out by Mercedes who made the engineer the man in charge at AMG. Unfortunately, I fear that AMG has been terribly watered down these last few years over what it once was. I live in Denver, not a place well known for exotic cars, but I see an AMG on every street corner. I guess it’s just the way things go. It’s just a slightly more deluxe brand over a deluxe brand.😩 I remember when AMG first came along, and all the gearheads would get all excited every time a new one came out. Now, no one notices, and for good reason.😞

I just love the M156, but at the same time I feel like the C63 was way too sporty looking for what I was looking in a benz, the w221 matched all the ticks for what I'm looking in a modern AMG, and yes even the prelift W212 did, I just didn't like the style. The E55 is my wagon pick alternative to the S63. Nowadays pretty much the only AMG I'd buy is the S.

See if someone will lend you a CLK 63 Black :-) Obviously not Merc PR dept then....though to be fair, I think your choice of shirts may have put them off!

Good stuff. How do you know if a car is genuine AMG and not a few badges stuck on.

I used to covet this thing so bad. The last model AMG I truly liked aside from this one was the 2006 or so W211 E55

I owned an E55 for a while. Was a decent car and with the remap and pulley kit had 522bhp and 634lbft of torque. Getting power down at low speeds was interesting. The suspension in anything other than comfort was shocking though. The 5 speed auto is stronger than the 7 speed in the E63 but it's slooow. I'd definitely recommend one though. Just don't expect it to be a sports car.

@@jackthehat8593 That would suit me fine. I love supercharged cars and large cruisers. My first car was a supercharged LS1 in a large sedan with a 4-speed auto. Loved that thing.

Favourite is the AMG Black Series C of course. Any plans of a review on that?
