Maybe, although as a fan of the W124 I would argue you got some nice ones too, like the 500E (E500), 400E (E420) and even the 320TE (E320) wagon. We did not get any 124 with a V8 and our fastest 124 wagon was either the 300TE (12-valve) or the 300TE-2.8 (E280). At the other end of the 124 range we got the 4-cyl 230E & TE, and later the 220E, CE & TE (E220) which at least are reliable. Oh, and we also got the 300E-24 which you missed out on, and our 300CE-24 and 320CE (E320C) came standard with the 5-speed auto which made them fast (but fragile and expensive to repair). For the diesel fans you also had a better range than us including the W126 diesels and turbos in them and the W123 diesels which never came here. One thing I am thankful of is that we did not get the troublesome auto climate control that appears to have been standard in your W107, 116, 123, 124, 126 and 201.
