I think Moses is on the editorial board at Hemmings.
I'll stick my head out and say it: The 190SL is woefully underpowered and handles about as well as a Triumph Spitfire, just more ponderous. Gorgeous cars, but what a let-down to drive. Talk about a car that has the looks, the "SL pedigree", convertible, stick shift, etc., but really doesn't deliver on the promise. The 190SL: good looking when parked.
When I think of
taut and lively sportscars, the 190SLs really don't come to mind.
Anyone have their socks knocked off by a 190SLs "performance"? I just expected more based on their looks alone.
