When I was 18 and bought my first car, a VW Scirrocco, I loved that thing (all 76 hp).

A Scirrocco (I had an '82), a CRX, a GTI (early models)...all can invoke passion. Just not a Civic, a Camry, an LS430, an A6, or an E320.
Your 993 can invoke passion (actually, love it or hate it, it would be hard not to), but not your MDX.
Could an E-class invoke passion? Possibly. I never really understood passion from bling.
However you could configure an E-class to rock your soul. Just not an E320 CDI. Its a nice car. But its your sister!

I honestly tend to agree w/you a little after owning a sportier car than the e-class, but I sitll love my 320 just as much as the day I got it!!! I was obsessed with my '84 300D the whole time I had it and kept (and still do, actually) it in tip top shape. A car doesn't need to be fast for you to love it, but I sort of see where you're coming from, bcs the E class IS kind of a boring car, relatively speaking...

Why am I buying? Because I am not looking for passion on the way home from work at 10pm. Or on a trip to my mother-in-law. Or sister-in-law.
At those times I am looking for a peaceful, comfortable ride. Like my mother's tuna casserole. Now I like my mother's casserole. And I love my mother. But passion? No, I don't think so.

All relative in my opinion. Everyone has passion for different things. Music might do it for some, cooking for others, art for others, cars and certain types of cars for others. I think that everyone who owns a W211 and visits this thread (W211 as a whole) on a regular basis shares a certain degree of passion for the benzy otherwise why would they regularly participate???

I have swifters in every car! Ok, not it the truck or the race car.
I just don't think passion is the right word to describe interest in a car phone or valet lockable trunk!

I KNOW I am passionate about golf. If I don't play at least once a week, I get so antsy. At least that's what I tell my wife so she lets me go play
