It's very interesting how Mercedes people take to change. Remember when the 129 came out. The 107 people said it was an ugly duckling, most still do. But I personally think it's one of the sleekest best looking modern two seaters produced. It takes time to grow on people. The 230 is very nice, just so different than the 129. Just like the 129 was so different then the 107, and so on....... I do have fears of ever owning one that is out of warranty, could be a nightmare if reliability is not there like the 129. Like we say...time will tell. Could too much technology and electronics be a real proplem in a 5 to 10 yr. old car?

If you want to know how crooked a stick is, just lay a straight one next to it.
It's not the tall sails that bring a ship to the port of destination, but the unseen wind.
