I wonder if the power to weight ration of a W115 220D automatic is better or
worse than a W123 240D automatic?

Tom,
Is your 79 240D a stick? Will you keep it after you get the 115 220D?

I can think of two possibilities:

Don't count on picking out cops by car in Alabama.
Around here, you are just as likely to be pulled over by a SUV. The police
in Tuscaloosa are running around in Mercedes M class some of the State

Then they have a range of other undercover cars.
