Surely you jest, sir!
I think you are trying to confuse me as to how you feel about these cars.
That message seems "un'Kaleb" and I don't know you that well!
There is no way any reproduction even from MB could be marketed to the exact
caliber, design and standards (with any of the few updates MB had improvised
to work out a couple little bugs, such as no more ACC servos from hell) if
not for cost issues, then for enviromental regulations. So a Chinese knock
off is REALLY unappealing, largely for the same reasons a Chinese knock-off
ANYTHING is undesireable.
This has got to be a test for the new guy...

I think it would be nice of some chineese company or whatever licensed
to start making brand new 126's, 123, and even 115's
