I can say that the W124 is eons ahead of the venerable W123.

It's also the best car I have ever owned/driven.

Occasionally I have to rent a car for a week at a time for work and I am always completely disgusted with it by the time I return it.

Even with shot struts and shocks I couldn't wait to get back into my 16 year old MB.

Those brand new Malibus that everybody was praising is a POS with a turning radius of a Mack truck.

It's a long, ugly, poorly designed POS.

What a shame that is considered an achievement for American cars.

However, it is much less expensive than an MB.

I hear the Cadillac CTS-V is a real quality car according to Top Gear's James May.
