Their is a percentage of people here that will hate any car made after the W126. So be it. I'm 20, I will be buying MB's 50 years from now. W126's are yesterdays news, nice cars but their time has come and gone. I want nav, I want a 20 speaker sound system that I can hook an Ipod, or cell phone to. I like how on my Uncles late model BMW, when you pick up the phone the stereo cuts out. I want features like that. I want climate control and heated and cooled seats, Xenon lights, ABC, AWD ect. I like the new cars a lot, their style and design work for me.
Lots of people hate the W220. I like them a lot. I think the W211 is one of the best looking E's yet. The new CLK, CL, and SL are simply awsome.
The GL and R are the only disapointments I find in MB's currant line up.

That's fine.
Opinions are subjective of course...I LOVE the 220, and I don't see why many claim the interior is cheap. It is a nimble, and sporty S-Class that harkens back to the W116 road feel. A W116 with COMAND.
I used to own a 210, which was an excellent car, very quick, and got mileage rivaling a 123 turbodiesel. Only with 275 hp.
So, although I may seem like an old kodger with 3 W126's, completely biased and such, I'm really not entirely so.
