I would love if you started a series where you primarily go through a car's design evolution through each generation and compare them.. like what you did for the first half of this video. That would be cool
@@georgevulpe5600 it's not about taking away redesigning part.. I'm talking about starting a new series along with redesigning. I think you misunderstood me And judging from the likes im getting, alot of people agree with me
A year ago when I was in university I had a professor who talked about the history of cars. The subject was called history of automotive industry. We loved it. Every week he was bringing an oldtimer in perfect condition and we were allowed to drive with it etc.
I would buy that redesign. Challenge: You should create a video series that re-imagines iconic cars as if they were created by a different manufacturer. For instance: What if the Nissan z a was created by BMW instead?
Hey first thanks for such good amazing sketches you have done to awaken our eyes in what some ,we thought it couldn't get no better, and some we did think about what if they redesign it, you bring our thoughts to life on paper, we like all that you do, please continue to do more...thanks...
I really like this! It is significantly different whilst still being recognisable. You went to a great effort to change the doors and windows and everything, and it paid off. Looks like an actual 190E-inspired concept car MB would make. Bravo!
Omg.. I love this, i'm a big big fan of old mercedes cars especially the 190 and the w140 this is just.. woww i want this car.. Would be awesome if the car companies did this kind of stuff.
I would buy this car! I love how “resto-mods” look like they could be electric cars. Only thing I would do differently is maybe reduce the front intake height more so it’s not 50/50 with the lights; and lower the car or have bigger body kit.
Will be a great succes if Mercedes comes with a car like this as an Electric car.( only another front grille). Production costs should be low with by putting a simple interior, dash panels and just make sure to put the latest infotainment system into it..
1 suggestion. I believe it would look better if the front bumber was a little lower to the ground. Keeping in mind that this would be a modern car it would need to look sportier and since the old 190E wasn't that sporty looking,I believe being a little lower would do the trick cuz this way it looks like a mid-SUV
You're right Sketch the 190E has aged well and still looks great. I bet it's a bargain on the used car market, too. Best news, you killed the redesign tweaking - nicely done man.
It was, but a lot of people misunderstand the 190E because of this. They compare it to the M3 (or the normal 3 series it doesn't matter all that much), which was a sport sedan, but the 190E was a compact luxury car. That's still a problem to this day, comparing Mercedeses with BMWs and Audis since they make quite a different cars that just cost and look about the same
@@mafus6116 That does make sense actually. I guess they were compared to one another due to the competitiveness of both companies and the overall audience appreciation of both astonishing vehicles... or maybe people just loved the hype of BMW and Mercedes clashing one another with two amazing cars, regardless of the specs and interior/exterior features.
@@santoku2027 yes i admit... I love both, the E30 and the 190E (I actually own one). They cost about the same, they were trying to impress the same clientele and they also raced each other (i think that the idea that the stock 190 is a sport sedan came more from the sport versions, that were actually sporty than from the rivalrity, that only helped to spread it). So I don't think it doesn't make sense, it does. I just don't like slammed 190s so I'm just trying to convince people that it's a luxury car, not a sports car or a tuner car😂😂
@@santoku2027 yep i am lucky, i got it after my grandpa, but i'm still underage to drive unfortunately so I'm just babying it after it's been used for getting groceries for 30 years😂.
I generally like Mercedes-Benz designs a lot - even the more controversial and ... experimental ones - yet, I want to get this 2021-190 as a coach build now for she looks fantastic. This is an extremely well made redesign in my opinion.
Would be interesting how the rear end would look in your design. Generally my 2 biggest problems with the current models outside design is the grill (going away from the classical grill and ditching the 3 pointed star on the hood in favor of a huge one in the grill) and the rear lights. The current rear lights make me mistake them with the current Alfa sedan from afar. Not something any previous C-class has done. (they had rear lights that were easily distinguishable as mercedes for me.) But even more than that, on the inside, the obnoxious huge tablet instead of the well working buttons and push pull wheel HMI are keeping me way more from buying one than my gripes with the outside design. (For generations Mercedes interiour was easy to use, and if you ever have used one, the next gen was as easy to use. Then suddenly they switched the position of the blinker lever with the cruise control lever "just to make me nuts" and then ditched the later completely for buttons on a steering wheel... completely ignorin former cutomers in hope for new ones.)
WOWW!!!! SKETCH MONKEY YOU NAILED THIS ONE BOSS I SO WOULD BUY THIS 😨😳🥰 You deserve a job from an automotive company as a designer either Mercedes or BMW but as you can see the current mess up of BMW's designers that would be the obvious location for you to work your magic my brother! LOVE this 190 E I'm POSITIVE if something like this was made it would sell like hot cakes!!
Can you redesign the 1970 Catalina Pontiac or Bonneville please , sometimes us crazy car guys just imagine what would many of the earlier favorite vehicles would look like in todays time ...
I was having a dream a few months back in early 2020 and in that dream mercedes advertising the hashtag #BringBackTheClassics on their special edition C, E and S Klasse based on w123 and w124 and this is what depicted very very close to my dream with minor differences just like how nissan 400z body line looks almost identical to 240/280z. It's the same with this, it has more curvy body line than the w124 but has all the modern tech in it. Rims are different, headlight had a close design to the original but with modern touches, more modernize grills and very sleek bodykit. It giving me a chill in the spine when i found out about this video just now.
My first car was a '92 300D, yep diesel. I learned a ton about car repair because something was always broken 😄 I also learned that Mercedes parts are blooming expensive. Still remember it with fondness though.
Hey, when we talk about BMW and consistency in brand design lets not forget their kidney grill. I think that is a feature unique to BMW which makes them identifiable with even if they may stray from their previous design. Just an opinion.
100% agree with your mentioning brand identity, and redesign "heritage" models. Believe W205 has .24 & e190 had .33, overall form factor paired with advancement. Even the new W206 has a .24
Very eloquent and explicit 'tour d'horizon' of the design development of Mercedes cars. I still have a 1986er 190E (designed by the Italian Bruno Sacco shown at 2:28) because of its straight lines instead of 'hunback' boot (trunk). The 'bumper integration' shown atg 0:39 shows the U.S. version which is bigger and not so elegant as the European one, as sit comes too close to the front grille. This also goes for the bumpers of the larger models (280) which had to absorb impacts at a speed on 5 km/h. The 2001 model with the 'flat headlights' are not really an update of the previous model shown in the middle at 4:34. One detail which I find important: the 190 (Serien W-201) is the last Mercedes where the 'star' is incorporated on top of the front grille and not haphardly placed somewhere on the bonne (hood) with no connection to the grille, making it look a bit 'fornlorn'. The pronounced wheel cases of the fenders look like 'hipüs' having accumulated unnessesary 'fat'. The grille of the 2022 model is not really elegant. Black plastic with silver 'nails' with a too big and conspicuous star. I also prefe a 'smiling grille' rather than a 'frowning' one. Also the shape of the Aston Martin grille (adopted by Ford cars) is quite nice. Last remark: a few centimeters more for rear passengers would not have been a bad idea. Now I'm waiting for an analogous version of design comparison of Jaguar models.
I love my 99 C230 Kompressor. It looks identical to the silver "94" in Sketch's photo, except my AMG monoblocks are rare 15" rims, it has an aftermarket supercharger pulley/belt, and suspension tuned by AMG in Germany. It's one of a handful of US specs that got tuned by AMG and is not a C63. Best looking C Class imo. (And the last/best version)
Can you also redesign the 2006 Cadillac DTS please , us Cadillac guys wish they had kept making the DTS and STS for today , even the 80s eldorado redesign would be awesome...
One of my dream car. Sadly this car never officially sell in Indonesia. So the price is insanely high for a 80s'-90's Mercedes. The lowest price for 1989 190E W201 is around IDR 250M (US$ 17K). Compare to the lowest price of W124, it only around IDR 50M (US$ 3,5K)...
I believe that the ‘50s SL300 is the most beautiful automobile ever built, I dream about the same car with the same body design but with a modern V8 63 AMG engine, modern wheels, headlights, like mustang did or mini or Honda E!
I would love if you started a series where you primarily go through a car's design evolution through each generation and compare them.. like what you did for the first half of this video. That would be cool

This looks way cooler than the current jellybean like design.
Jelly bean 💀
Honestly anything past the W204 is so bubbly I left Mercedes all together :/
The W213 E class is one of the most beautiful German cars of this decade in my opinion. The W206 and W214 tho... Awful.
Aero would like to talk to you
@@houdini6465 fucken spot on mate
This one really works well. I would have liked to see it lowered a few inches on the ground.
Yeah, such an SUV height
The grille is too small for the Avant-garde grille imo. He should've widened the opening and reduced the space the headlights take up on the nose.
LOVE it too bro, and you're right this lowered a couple inches would be badass!
@@boondockbwoy14 No

The Mercedes 190E, one of my most favorit cars
I'm sitting on mine in my profile picture (:
me to bro and its my favourite car my dada has em for 25yrs and today it works really well
Mine is “mafia spec’d” and I get stopped 2-3 times a day! People love that car.
Every time i'm amazed with your brushing. Every time.
I would buy that redesign.
Challenge:
You should create a video series that re-imagines iconic cars as if they were created by a different manufacturer.
For instance:
What if the Nissan z a was created by BMW instead?
Or Toyota Supra was created by BMW, just an idea how it would look
@@Gasmaska69 lmao
That would actually be really cool
@@Gasmaska69 yeah, the mk5 Supra by BMW already exists lol
I owned a W201. One of the best sedans of the 80's. I wish I could get another one.

personally I like the old style better than the new one.
As an owner of this car, I have to say that this is awesome
WOW THAT'S JUST... AMAZING !!!
That came out absolutely gorgeous. I love the handsome boxiness of it.
This car has the potential to last as long as the Mercedes G-Class.
Cool bro. You forgot to mention Bruno Saccos best design, the S class coupe, C126. Would be cool to see that design with modern lines.
The 190 E is a thing of beauty ngl
I would buy this car! I love how “resto-mods” look like they could be electric cars.

I lived in Germany 86 thru 93 and fell for the 190, today I'd love to have a 190.
VW/Volkswagen has the best shoulderlines ever

It’s not a bargain. These are classics in good shape. I used to want one of these badly
@@rahimi4762 I mean u could get a decent one for like 6-7k€ (at least in Germany)
Finally! Think I asked for the w201 redesign years ago :-)
yours "new mercedes" design is far more esthetic and beautiful than the official one! bravo!👏👏
My favourite car design of all time
WoW…. I’ve had a 190E for 15 years now, I love it. You should be designing the new Mercedes Benz cars. 👍🏻🇮🇪
I love the fact that the 190E was actually a rival to the E30 M3. Anyways love your vids Sketch Monkey

I would be so happy to see this in the real world
A lower front end chunky rear with slightly protruding bumper and broad but subtle wheel arches at the rear would look really good.
The side mirrors could be a bit more rectangular...
wow! What an awesome design, better than the original AND current models!
This looks like Pimp My Ride got a hold of it. I prefer the classic lines just the way they are.
Better than today's Mercedes models
holy crap man.i was always a fan of the hammer but this is a killer design
Agreed I LOVE this I would buy this in a heart beat switch the rims and lower it
If only this car was on the market as a remastered version.
Brother this is awesome ♥️♥️♥️💯

As a fellow c32 AMG owner for 10 years i love the 190e

I would love that as a wallpaper:)

Glad you did my favorite car
If the front fascia was done just a little differently, it would look like a compact Rolls Royce.
This is why Mercedes must hire you...
well done! I love your design and i'm already a BIG MB fan and lover! specially the S Class series
You're version reminds me of a SEC560 AMG/w140 I love it great job!
2008 back headlights were my favourite
This actually looks really sick. I was skeptical at first, once you put the new wheels on, it just popped though!
Fabulous.... Looks like a Merc & Mustang had a baby with godly genetics..
It looks like a persian Peugeot to me, I love the channel anyway!
