I'm removing the edits about the apparently "Much better" 2.5 liter engine (proof??) as well as the edit of the bhp from 202bhp to 204bhp. It's not 204bhp, it's 204PS = 202bhp. OK?
"The 190 was in the small 'Sales Executive' class in the UK and Europe and was rivalled but never equalled by the Audi 80, BMW 3 series and the Saab 900" Er, how? Quality, sales, figures, performance?--71.226.173.163 19:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Anyone object to renaming this article "Mercedes-Benz 190-Class" to match the rest of the MB articles? --SFoskett 14:43, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
I'm editing the paragraph "The 190 was in the small executive saloon class in the UK and Europe. Other cars in this class were the Daihatsu Charmant, Triumph Acclaim, Rover 213/216, Ford Orion, BMW 3 series and the Vauxhall Belmont."
As none of these cars was in the same class as the 190/w201 except the BMW of course. I'll inlcude some correct vehicles. --mike65

[edit] Volvo 760
I think that the Volvo 700 series was not in the small executive saloon class. It was in the large luxury class. Hope this clears things up - Alex.
[edit] 190E 2.3 16
Someone's created a specific page for the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16, with unwikified content. Should it go, or should the 2.3 16 content be removed from this page?? Roddyp 09:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Table?
Anyone know how to create a table like that in many other cars - eg the BMW M3? Would be nice to have. --Gavinio 09:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Different Photos
I don't think the second photo adds much to this article - anyone else think that the US-spec photo should be replaced by a nice photo of an EVOII or even just a standard cossie? --Gavinio 13:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Someone obviously vandalised the page--how do you revert to an older version?
[edit] 2.3-16v engine
Hi there i was browsing through this page where i spotted this passage
"In roadgoing trim the 190E 2.3-16 produced 49 hp (36 kW) and 41 ft·lbf (55 N·m) of torque over the basic single overhead cam 2.3 engine on which it was based. The 2.3 L 16 valve engine made "185 hp (137 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 174 ft·lbf (235 N·m) at 4,500 rpm, the oversquare 95.50 x 80.25 mm bore and stroke dimensions ensuring that it revs easily up to the 7000 rpm redline"[4]. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) was 8.0 seconds, and the top speed was 230 km/h (143 mph)[4]."
I wonder if the first statement is correct,as in the "..the 190E 2.3-15 produced 49hp...". I dont see any engines of the 190E having that miserable output,nor would it make sense for Mercedes to make a underpowered engine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.11.5 (talk) 04:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki is not a car enthusiast publication
In a number of respects this article reads like a company-sponsored blurb, or a fan magazine. Unsupported superlatives and gossip which second-guesses company objectives do not belong in an encyclopedia. 24.6.67.7 (talk) 09:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
