The 123's rear end looks a lot wider than the 124's, wonder if it's just an optical illusion... I know people love the w123, but it does look really old now whereas the 124's styling was so subtle it still looks modern today, as well as being light years ahead of the 123 to drive.

Love mine still after 6 years of ownership
