Was just reading the following article about the S-Class.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_S-Class#Origin_of_the_S-Class

I'm not sure about anything I read on the Wikipedia site but Im really interested in the statement that the W140 was much larger in size that the W126. Now I've never sat in a 140 and I do own a 126. But from looking at pictures, the 140 just looks considerably smaller than the 126. Also the 140 has that Japanese jellybean shape indicative of a Mazda. From looks alone, I don't know that Id ever purchase a 140. But, we're all different! Anyone got anything to say about the size though?
