OTOH, I agree an airbag-equipped 124 or newer Mercedes would certainly be a safer bet than my Camry. But a newer Mercedes just isn't in the cards for me right now.
Meanwhile, there are no guarantees in this life and I recall several years ago, someone here posting a photo of a W126, broken in half after being struck by, of all things, a Dodge Omni!
I guess if safety was the only criteria, nobody would ride motorcycles.
Happy Motoring, Mark

I remember this thread.
it was determined that the car was "repaired" from a serious rear end collision, and a donor car was welded to the front of the other car... not to MB Specs is an understatement...
that car was NOT damaged by the omni, it was damaged by the bodyshop that built it!!!
