Funny but I've owned two 1966 Beetles and loved them but now owning a 2001 Beetle TDI it would be hard to think of a 1966 Bug as a daily driver!
I think my decision will depend on what condition I can find my next car in. I did enjoy the mono-wiper on my 190 2.3 16v!! I think the w124 is similar, right?
I'm excited about my new quest for the right car!!

actually, the 124 300D is available in the US in 3 engines...
86-88 3.0L 603, 88-94 2.5L 602, 95 3.0L N/A 606 24valve engine...
the 95 has issues along with it's slightly underpowered due to the lack of turbo, but it's got the most fuel efficiency, and the nicest interior options, lights, hood, etc...
the 86/87 3.0 has the most power, but it's kinda plain interior, plasticky dash etc.
the 88-94 2.5L turbo is really nice...really decent power, and a decent set of options.
