[MBZ] More info about Ssangyong Mercs

2006-01-11 Thread Hendrik Riessen
Check out ebay number 4603739247 for a close up look at a 98 4x4. Looks like 
the engine is not Mercedes made but licensed to Ssangyong.

I love how it says *w123* one of Mercedes most popular models shows off
its (for its time) technological superiority.
For it's time...Heck, I saw a one year old Ford Expedition in the
boneyard last week that didn't fare anywhere near as well as that 123 (
not a severe wreck either, a simple 1x low speed rollover, the thing
looked like lasagna, all doors sprung ( from the wreck, not rescue )roof
line colapsed in a twist into passenger compartment, every passenger
position was either a serious injury or death...gave me the creeps ).
I'll jump in a 123 any day of the week. I would not feel safe at all in
one of those Expeditions.
Instead of saying for it's time it should say: ahead of it's time

 Watch carefully to see the seat belt pre-tensioner and what happens when kids 
 are not properly restrained.
