Ditto! I call these cars "mild customs." I am all about taking a car - any car - and doing things to the appearance or inner workings that are subtle, so that the discriminating person looks at it or sees it and realizes that there is something no-so-obviously, yet tastefully, different about it. If Mercedes had not done this very thing with the W126 SD by extending the rear door and roof line slightly, and making it an SDL, I would have. Its the subtle changes that can really set a car off in looks, sound, or mild performance and make others fall curiously in love with it.
