If all you guys care about is how easy it is to work on, then buy a '52 Chevy pickup truck with a Stovebolt 6 engine.

That new S60 is gorgeous to look at, corners brakes and accellerates in Audi and BMW territory, has the best seats in the business, which were designed by orthopaedic back surgeons, just like Mercedes and is real real safe in a bad crash.

Otoh, the '52 Chevy pickup accellerates like Molasses, corners like a brick rolling sideways, the seats are like wood park benches and in a crash, Congrats: you just got a steering column through your chest like a butterfly in someone's collection.

Sheesh.
