I owned a luxury car I would expect it to be somewhat distinctive...
Maybe I'm the only one who saw the joke here since a Genesis is a Hyundai.

Why would you want to? It depreciated to stale toast value in about 8

Kind of similar to the value of my 8088

My thoughts exactly! I love the 123 from the outside and the 124 from the
steering
I know for a fact that one is well protected, even without air bags,
in a W124 or W126 chassis -- I've been in a pretty bad accident in a
W124 and walked away. Not far away, but I was mobile and have
minimal permanent injuries from it. A 50-60 mph impact by a large
vehicle (Chevy 3500
I remember way back in my school days, a friend got into an accident in his
mum's W123. I walked away from it too. His dad had an SD at the time too.
I said to his dad, too bad about the car, eh. His reply was, if you find
yourself in a crash, best do it in a Benz. When he opened the door

Not my style either, but then again, I'm probably one of those more hardcore
Mercedes guys who just complains when he feels things aren't as they should
be.
I feel too, in most real world accidents, you'd be pretty well protected
in an old W126. I'm not saying you couldn't kill yourself in one,
to survive with
no injuries. The 123 is a tank.
