The current S-class is really growing on me. I dig the taillights, but I think its the overall body that I've come to like since it reminds me of the W140 S-class in the sense that it has road presence and is commanding and opulent in that subtle way. I never did really like the previous generation S-class. Ugh, I can no longer keep track of chassis number. I pretty stopped paying much attention to M-B sometimes after 2000 with the new E-class that replaced the venerable W124. I'm also digging the new C-class, even the new M-class, looks bigger and more masculine for some reason. The new, current E-class is bringing back the big grille and if I'm not mistaken also the pointed/angled bumper. My all-time fav M-B still has to be the '94-'95 W124, which I still like very much and still consider owning. Also, the new SL is groiwing on me, the one that replaced the R129, which I still like very much and still dream of owning! But the new SLK--what the heck is that montrosity? I like the first generation much better, but not that I would own one. Too much of a chick car. My sister has one. Lately I've been noticing a lot of the minivan M-B. Is that the R-class? Ugh, that is no Mercedes, if you ask me. I think M-B should have just stuck with wagons. Maybe I'm a M-B snob. But then again, I've really no clue about the newer M-B, due to a lack of interest...but now noticing all these new models is beginning to tickle my fancy again. Oh, I should add that these stupid M-B car commercials are annoying, first with the ads that say "things aren't the way they seem" or something like that and now with the "why" adds. Just annoying!
On a side note, here's a pic of my car. Guess what model it is. Shouldn't be hard!
