Bruno Sacco always said;

" ... and furthermore a Mercedes should always LOOK like a Mercedes..."

Now that he's gone, that philosophy doesn't apply to the company. Mercedes is losing it's image, and that is sad.

Many days I take my W126, W210, or even the W107, and people in the passing lane move right over when they see me with my headlights and distinctive foglights on. Because they know it's a big bad Benz wanting to overtake them. Kind of like the reaction you get if you're driving a dark big Crown Vic.

A lot of people actually still think that my '87 300SDL is the brand new S-Class Mercedes!
