New technology is nice my father remembers the days were cars rusted apart and started to die after 70k miles. Remember the 5 digit odometers? Now I can buy a car with 100k on it and it will be only halfway through its life. I like new cars and I would be driving a E320 CDI if I had the money. The old ones are nice but the world marches on.

Northstar has timing chains and gears.

Here is a SHOCK…
