I saw a 500SEL the otherday, a silver 1995 and I cant get it out of my head how stately it looked compared to alot of cars even 9 years later, to bad mercedes over engineered it. My friend has a 1997 and its been to the shop alot, good thing hes load with dough.
There's a difference between over-engineered, and over-complex.

The W140 is both.(unfortunately from what I've heard, the W220 lacks the over-engineered concept).

IMHO, as to the W140's looks. It doesn't have enough chrome, and is TOO smoothly lined.

However, the C140 is not a bad looker. Just big!
