I agree that the newer Mercedes-Benzes are probably safer. The old ones are nice to have in the city though where people just kinda bump you when parallel parking or just out of misfortune in traffic.

I got rear ended by a new C-Class (W203). He was probably only going 10-20mph max. The diesel sustained zero damage other than an imprint of the C's license plate frame in the rubber strip.

The W203 wasn't as lucky though... broke the grille and bent the hood a little.
