However, my favorite 'modern' Mercedes are the W126 and W140. Also a special place in my heart for a W201... the things I'd do to toss one around the streets around me...

But I do share the inability to discern models of cars years past-- the way my dad can tell from 50 feet at a glance a 1963 from a 1964 Camaro is mind boggling until I put into perspective I can do that with a W126
The Camaro came out in 1968...Yup, you're 20. LOL

My favorite Mercedes era was the 1970's and 1980's. It was a car that showed the world that you finally made it to the top.

Today's cars, regardless of the make, have lost true styling...they are all basically the same, with the exception of the sports cars.
