One of the things you have to understand about the W124 chassis was that it's initial design was NOT from the 1980's. It was from the 1970's!! Mercedes begun the 201/124 design in 1979!
Though the car was highly evolved by 1995, it had lived a long life and was being sold in a world dominated by newer cad/cam designs and big changes in manufacturing processes.
Go find me a Japanese 1979 design that was still a desireable car in 1995!
