It is interesting to read all the posts in our forum and obvious that we all have different tastes in cars and reasons for owning each one. I love my ML, think my 420SEL and 230S are great cars for driving fun, and really like my newest addition -- the 92 300CE. (If I want to beat almost anyone off the line, I can drive my Corvette of course) Normally, I like cars that are well made, drive well over the road and have reasonable power. The previous comments about the 300CE, compared to a 500E ... simply show that the specific owner wanted quick acceleration more than some other features. Of course the 500E is a nice car -- but does not have the style of the 300CE.
It is good that we can all drive what we want, for different very valid reasons.
