Germany vs Japan vs America - Who won?
Well, someone had to to it. A road trip with Benz vs. Nissan vs. GM?
The folks at Car and Driver did just that and I thought y'all would like to see the results. Who really won now........? http://www.caranddriver.com/features/10783/battle-of-the-diesel-beaters.html

LOL i can't believe the Delta 88 made it! I honestly thought that the Benz would hav ebeen the only car rolling at the end of the "race".
O well! they should have added one more qualification to the race... who could sell their race car for the most money! I like the Euro lights on that Benz... that would be a beutiful car with a little love... alot more then i can say for the other 2 contestants.

Sure does, and it looks like it has some kind of body skirt, and the grill looks blue. I wonder if all that was factory???

Old. But for a road trip the ultimate GT car, is a Bentley of course.
 With any S class not far behind.

that road trip is a moquery. The 116 (should have they actually not bought the first one they found!!!!) should have arrived to california not a few hours but a few days ahead of the competition. did you remark thay actually bought a pretty pristine olds!?
I bought a 300SD back in march in Orlando and drove it back to Dallas in clocked 20 hours. Average speed 85mpg on I-20. that thing flew... and it got it for $1200... Gorgeous but rusty.

They sold all three on eBay a few months ago.
If I recall right, the GM got the highest final price and the nissan the lowest.
