Don't get me started on the 107s... BORing styling. Like dehydrated
artificial vanilla powder. Though not a huge fan of the 116 body style, it
does not offend me, although their cheesy plasticized interiors with the
thin lleather seating and oogy old car smell is a real turnoff.
I DO like the

You NEED that Dan!
The perfect car to Martha-ize!
Besides in a couple years you can
I gotta say, that car has zero styling points. The shape and contours of
the body are completely unlovable. I don't care if it has zero miles - I'm
not interested at any price.

I'm driving mine once again since the S420 is no longer mine. Dang, I miss

They look like a Mustang. I have come to accept this.
Like the W140, which got a facelift in 1996, the R129s were significantly
better as far as quality and reliability from 1996 on. They got the electronic

The R129 looks much better than the earlier versions unless one goes

I would agree.
Try as I might, I have never been able to like the styling of the W107 models.
I never really like the W116s, either, which are very close in design to the
W107s in my opinion. I seriously considered a couple of different W107s in my
search, but I just couldn't convince myself
I don't think the R129 is that bad. It has clean lines. I agree about the R107.
It just doesn't cut it for me although the early euro models weren't that bad.
