Well, to be fair, it's a dealer post, so the person who put the ad on
CL was probably some underpaid flunky who wouldn't know a Mercedes
from a Model T.  Just about every Japanese carmaker copied the shape
of the 124's rear end in the '90s, in particular the rounded upper
corners and the trapezoidal shape of the trunklid between the rear
lights.  Mazda was an especially bad offender, as I remember thinking
the first time I saw a Protege (the little sedan that came after the
323 and before the current "3").

And it's got a 'straight V-6' engine in it!

Does anybody remember what "V" stands for?
