My neice had a 1998 or 99 C230.She got into an accident and the entire car was smashed.The cd's in the trunk were broken,the car couldnt move its front wheels.It drove off to the nearest exit in that condition and my neice walked away scratch-free.I drove a 2004 Camry,and I dont think it would compare to the old Benz's.The W140's seem as if they would be even safer.I heard that in the new W220's they have some system that adjusts the passengers before an accident to keep them in the best spot.I believe Mercedes is much more sturdy than a Honda or Camry,even a BMW.
