I could not agree more. The 126 is an elegant car, and among the
best to look at ever made.
Others I would nominate for best looking Top 10: Mercedes SS SSK ,
300SL Gulwing, 1962 corvette (an obvious knockoff of the 300SL)
1967 Chevelle SS396 ( in turquoise blue) 1963 chevrolet impala,
A 126 with euro lights is very nice, especially if you can get the OM603
non-rod bender engine. Lately I've been hankering after a 116, or maybe a 108.
Need to get my '95 road-worthy first, and replenish the savings account.

It probably makes sense to have a good warranty/service plan for a

around, etc. than a desktop. Just be sure it covers stuff like having a

I passed a Bentley Genesis tonight and was surprised at how much it looked
like any other late model car on the road. How disappointing. If I owned a
luxury car I would expect it to be somewhat distinctive.

If it's like my '90 and '92 non-Calif. 300Ds, the original exhaust was
almost one complete assembly, welded together. The replacement for the rear

I like the W126, and also am quite fond of both the W110/111 and
W108/109
Most everything after the W126 while perhaps superior in technology,
lost a lot in the styling. The new SLS AMG is quite the looker, though.
