One of these passed me on the interstate the other day. I saw it coming in the mirror and I thought, "that's an odd looking car... Hey, it's a Maybach!"

The rear seats in those are 100% sex.

No seriously, I almost think they are meant for mobile coitus.

Full recline and leg support. Think La-Z-Boy.

I would see them in Chicago sometimes when I was driving a truck in and out allday at work

If you like Rolls but want to stay Mercedes that's the way to go

But I love rollin' the classic iron has more soul

they do look a bit "funny" almost understated for what they are kinda stealth for 350k

Meh. Peterbilt with a sleeper cab is better for that sort of thing. Pulls a lot more, looks better, and comes with a diesel engine too.

I wish our 123's rear seats were designed with that in mind. God is it uncomfortable. Now my friend's 80s Cadillac Deville definitely was designed with that in mind.

forget the seats being the big issue, it's that steering wheel, and the cramped quarters that gets in the way in a 123 sedan... now, the wagon... heck, pure passion in that baby!

I think a 300SDL with rear reclining, heated seats is in your future.
