The 1992 Mercedes-Benz 400SE Passes the Robin Leach Test

· 1 min read

Car and Driver has put a 1992 Mercedes-Benz 400SE through its paces, framing the flagship sedan against Robin Leach's old promise of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. The comparison is the magazine's shorthand for a car built to impress on comfort and scale rather than raw numbers. For those who follow the marque's full-size sedans of that era, it's a reminder of just how much luxury Stuttgart was packing into its top-line cars three decades ago.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
