I think it's a generation thing. I'll bet to younger folks all 50s cars look the same. I used to be able to tell one car from another from a hudred feet without my glasses. Now I have to get really close to be sure I'm looking at a W211 and not a Huyndai Sonata. And at that my prescription's gone down.

This is becoming the next oil thread. Unfortunately, the folks who vote with their wallets have spoken and the rest of us lost. Besides, I wouldn't buy a brand new W126 for what it cost new in 1981. I'd wait 10 years and then buy one I wonder if I'll be alive in 2015 when the S400CDI is 10 years old.
