Why? It's a 30 year old design! It should do poorly compared to newer technology. Anyone that thinks a W123 is safer than ANY new MB should have their head examined. Do you think technology and engieering have been standing still, or worse, going backward, since the '70's?
Go look at the Honda Civic:

It is one hulluva safe little car. I'd take a new Honda anything over a W123 any day if safety was my only buying factor. Was the W123 or W126 the king in it's day? Maybe. Probably. Likely. How would they stack up today? Well, 20-30 years of development really has left them in the dust.
