But W126's .. hell, those are far too new. My old W116 is just as good (mostly..ok it's noisier) with more style. Put 'em up!
I'm gonna have to disagree with you guys on this one. Maybe I"m too young to appreciate the old school benz's (aside from the 450SL), but I like the look of some of the new cars like the G35, Z4 and M3 just to name a few. They have their own distinct look, and all look aggresive. If you want a car that doesn't do the driving for you, with an aggressive motor and transmission (I KNOW I'll be flamed for this) buy a BMW. You could go with a 6-speed auto 760 (6L V12), 6 speed manual M5 (5L V8), 6 speed manual 540i (4L V8), or a 6 speed SMG M3 (3.3L I6). All BMW's have an option for stick (except for the 7), and they are known for lots of power and aggresive suspension, while having leather and wood inside (if you like, everything's an option on a bimmer).

now that I've said that, I'll wait for tobasco and the other bimmer bashers to flame me.
