I like some of the new Buicks, but when I heard the rear end on one of the ones I like was designed in China, it put me off the car all together.
I agree, a clean W126 sill turns heads. For me, a W126 with a 560 engine is a pretty hard to beat package. I may not do some of the things a more modern car can do, but it does everything I want from a car, very very well. While I'm not actively searching for one, when I do come across a really clean one, I always leave a note and my number on the windshield.
