What if they made new W123s!

Check this out! Talk about crazy....

I'm sorry if this was already posted, but at the risk of being redundant I'm posting it anyway. It's good for a laugh!

I'd be the first to buy one! I like the classic W123 but I'd love a brand new 300CD or 280CE.

same OM617/M110
or
their 2.7L I-5 CDI engine or the 2.8L V-6 gas.
new 5-speed auto or 6-speed manual

MB's new A/C system with the old-style controls (finally really cold A/C and hot hot heater)
simpler and more reliable cruise control
improved vacuum system that is faster and more reliable yet still the same philosophy
burlwood trim
All leather
suede headliner *mmmmm*
uprated disc brakes, with ABS
15" style bundt-style wheels as standard
Xenon headlights
tauter suspension (surely they could work something out w/out altering the car's shape)


*DREAM dream dream...*

For that matter, wasn't there a post recently about some Korean company that bought the S-Class design and was going to produce cars that looked A LOT like our German Benzes?

If Mercedes did come out with a new 123 style car, I'd pony up the $$ immediately.

Nigerian Email scams - aren't they entertaining? This one is actually good, though.

Arrow old news

these scams are nothing new guys...
i remember when i started working in my father's office in 1977 the scams used to come in the mail - i mean the regular mail hehe.
the nigerian stamps were interesting though
however the scams were exactly on the same format as you see now via e-mail
