Pretty much sums up my opinion of the W140, but not the W126.

Or would that be a 300SDC, s class diesel coupe? I once saw a 560SEC
converted into a convertible, man would that be a good foundation for a
diesel conversion if one had the time, cash and parts to do it!

luxurious, has a cushier ride and a sleeker, more elegant look.
Whereas I'd give the edge in appearance to the 123. De gustibus
non disputandum. We love our SDL nonetheless. I think a 116 is
a mighty fine looking car,

Okay, Levi, you have your opinion, but here's mine.
Subarus are UULLLY.
300SD are the most beautiful car EVER made by anyone.
I just feel all luxurious and ensconced in the Beauty Car whenever I drive
it. I love to float down the freeway and drive 300 miles then hop out of

Yeah, it would be nice if there were some other "plug and play" option for
seats I could find at the junkyard. If mine actually break a spring, I'm

Well, I just compared them as best I could, as it seems like what I read on
