I seem to remember a road test of the first turbo and in my mind it was a coupe, but I have not searched for the magazine......it may be in a road and track in my basement.

I would have said neither the 126 msd, coupe or wagon came with the turbo to the states until 82.... but it may also be kindof a model year thing too....an 82 model year built in 81, though benz generally ignores model years.
I wrote this to respond to forced last night but forgot to hit submit apparantly.
