IN MY AREA.....
W210: Don't even notice you, and seem to have their focus permanently fixed on the road ahead.
W140: Occasional glances at whatever Benz you drive. Much like the car's prescence, not all that comforting.
W124: Usually loaded with a full crew of passengers. Passengers are always conversing as well as the driver, and the whole lot seem oblivious to passer-byers.
EXTREMES---------
W123/W126/W116: The most friendly lot of them all. Just about EVERY one of the drivers of these cars waves at me, honks their horn, flashes their lights, or compliments one of my cars at the local Market Basket(two W126 drivers and one W123 driver did so a couple years back on my SDL).
W220 and newer models: The worst people, and easily the most ego-centric. You tell them about your car, and they interpret your vehicle as a garbage can, rife with unpleasant odor and appeal. If it's older than 2 years.
