Agree with the comments on 80's MB's (naturally) Top to bottom the best around...then and now. Specially the W124.

What I believe made W124 E-Class the mid-size luxury vehicle to have was that it was one of the most complete Mercedes-Benz cars to incorporate everything that is the Mercedes-Benz brand--and that encompasses a lot. It's about solidity, longevity, safety, luxury, engineering excellence and of course, prestige.

Of course, I'm prejudiced.
