Diesel W123 in commercial
Im probably the first person to notice this since im a W123 nut. The commercial first says " we didn't invent the crash test...." and then there is a short clip of a W123 crash test. Im pretty sure it is advertizing the new Kia Fortge(I think thats how its spelled, LOL).
Anyways, i'll try and find a video on the internet but I thought i'd see if anyone else noticed it before me.

there is an old classics channel now on our cable system. I love watching the old "Rockford" episodes. Lots of older cars parked on the streets and in traffic shots. the villans yesterday were upper crust so of course they drove a late 60's early 70's looking big 4 door MB, they even had a shot of it smoking the tires taking off to drive through a warehouse

On Arrested Development, George Sr. drives a 1981 Mercedes in flashbacks taking place in 1981 that looks a lot like the W126, but I couldn't tell for certain. It is the episode with the "lessons."

I always thought it was ridiculous that there was an anti-piracy commercial made for the DVD industry that shows a W123 (280E) being broken into:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSQQ1NqOaA4 The car he's breaking into looks really tired, so you've got to wonder if the perp is someone on this board trolling for an uncracked dashboard.....
