What he said. My exact thoughts when reading this. I figured their W126 choice

Nay my friend the early Miata is a British sports car you can drive without
having to stop and pick the electrons off the road to keep it running. They fit
like a glove and zip right along, a worthy partner to a 126 although he's
picked the wrong 126...

But if you're over six feet in height you can't fit in a Miata.

I'd take the 126 oil burner over the gasser, and I don't have the over-size
personal problem so I'll fit the Miata just fine.

I think the later ones harmed the look, they got a little bigger and lost the
pop up headlights. It makes the car look front heavy, the earlier ones are more

Just to clarify, an AR-15 is often defined as a carbine, a short-barreled

about the car, Germany, etc. in no particular order:

The negative effect on Mercedes is pretty foolish... at least in suggesting
that Chrysler had their hand at engineering Mercedes.
But Chrysler received a large amount of Mercedes technology in many forms.

I'm not trying to stifle discussion but this topic has been gone over
many a times.
And I don't think there is anything new to throw in the mix.
Whether an AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle or carbine is neither here
nor there, I suppose they come in both full length and shortened
versions? Sure
Actually the term 'assault rifle' was derived from the Nazi Germany term
'sturmgewehr' meaning storming rifle and has since been universally
applied to the group of weapons that are not full size rifles or
sub-machine guns/machine pistol. Although by the time the MP-44 came
along, Nazi Germany

I suspect there was considerable leakage of junk gizmo flashy crap
into Mercedes from Chrysler. The new cars are NOT like the old ones,
rather tinny, full of electronic toys of dubious utility and designed

And they are UGLY and very hard to see out of.

I suspect that is the result of market research and actual customer
