500E/E500 Articles

Ross, as usual, has a great idea: consolidate all the articles on Dean's site where we can all have access. Those with articles and scanners please coordinate with Dean.

Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, but I know of one other article of interest: AutoWeek May 13, 1996 "A Nearly Perfect Equation" which reviews the E50. The author clearly prefers the 500E: "However, when it comes to the US, it will fall short of the 500E in the category of lacking an edge. The 500E was something special, a brutish, beastly Mercedes-Porsche, perhaps the ultimate tuner sedan. Maybe it was the influence of Mercedes' cross-town partner. Porsche didn't just assemble the car. It breathed in life, and there was a thrilling wildness, an edge to the car, just as there was to a 911 Turbo of the same generation."

If anyone has a decent copy of this article (Vol. 46, Iss. 20 Pg. 18), please post to Dean. Thank you.
