Having read the anti-Cad rant;

I agree re: the parking brake... and the inaccurate gas gauge sucks... but the rest of the rant made me wonder- so, it's big. Got that. That's what most people buy a DeVille for. A w140 is big, too, and I admit not for everyone, hence your choice of a W124. But to knock the Caddy for being large is to miss the point. Implying that designing to appeal to older folk is a bad thing- what's the point of that. Old people have money, that's why they buy Cadillacs- room (for 6, even), quiet, and easy to read gauges etc., SELL... and yes the current people who are 80 won't be around to buy another- so? The current 70 yr olds aren't buying 350Zs!

I like a 20 yr old MB better than most anything else too, but your points of contention with the Cadillac made little sense, in general, IMHO...
