Theory is, during that time we were at war with Desert Storm and car sales were down so the assembly lines were slowed down considerably, allowing time to get things 'right' the first time. I don't know... 
As far as the 126, I like the car. That's the one anybody thinks about when "Mereceds Benz" is mentioned - it's classic - but it's still (for me) an 'older' Benz. I want to update to a newer body, that's all.  |
Haha, interesting. My family has owned a bunch of Hondas, from an 80 Civic to a 98 Accord..the early 90s Accords were great though..from there they just kept getting bigger and bigger. I'd say a new Civic is as big as one of those was.
Anyway, what makes you want the 140? Not that you shouldn't or anything; just wondering. But upgrading from a 123, you'd probably be better off with a 124 if you wanted "newer", especially with the same 4.2 V8. That would be nice, and probably a bit bigger than the 123.
