W201 was the last incarnation of the Mercedes-Benz 190 nameplate. It was
a sports sedan/compact executive car produced by the Mercedes-Benz
division of Daimler-Benz. It was replaced in 1993 by the C- Class.Dubbed
"the Baby Benz", the W201-based 190 was the most affordable model in the
marque's lineup, being designed to fill the gap in the range below the
W123, the equivalent of a modern Mercedes E-class. Amongst the items
that were a first for Mercedes was the 190's patented 5- link suspension
at the rear, used in subsequent E- and C- class models, and developments
used today in Mercedes road cars. It had front and rear anti-roll bars,
and anti-dive, anti-squat geometry. The 190 was available with airbags,
ABS brakes and seatbelt tensioners, and other advanced safety features.
