What I am really worried about is Mercedes-Benz's future.... so far, it is really starting to look dark. Will the days where cars like my 89' 300E ever come back?

When I grow up, say 30 years from now, I want to be able to own a solid dependable Mercedes without having to restore another 300E from the 80s! Or by one for $200,000 from that Barret-Jackson Auction thingy either!
I kinda like the Lexus's, but I am just scarred with the fact that it is a Toyota with simulated wood trim! It is not just the hood star that makes me happy, I just love this car for it's well, carness! I sometimes find myself staring at the engine of my car without purpose! I am just addicted or obsessed with this German automobile! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
