That's been my favorite for some time - it pretty much says it all without saying very much.

Very Sad
My brother bought a 1969 220D from a German who had owned the car for over 20 years. My brother said the guy cried when he sold it.

Ok everyone I know just made fun of me for shedding a tear.... Glad to know my like minded souls on the shop forum feel the same way.

Shouldn't it have come back as a new E-class? I mean, the W114/115 evolved into the 123, that evolved into the 124, and so on and so on until the W211.

The old way of classic vehicles is confusing..
the 200 class was entry level really = C Class 300 series was mid level = E Class S=.. S class then the SL's and SLC. etc

I too have liked that commercial from the day I first saw it.... I too almost shed tears over it!
But the "Soul" lives on!
