Ugliest MB Body Style
What do you think is the UGLIEST MB body style that Mercedes did in a diesel, and why (if you care to explain)? This list is not comprehensive, only includes the car models (no G-class or buses, etc.) and not even EVERY one of those.
Body styles + corresponding diesel models: -W120/121 (180D, 180Db, 180Dc, 190D, 190Db) -W110 (190Dc, 200D) -W115 (200D, 220D, 240D) -W123 sedan/coupe/wagon (300D, 300CD, 300TD) -W116 (300SD) -W126.0** (300SD) -W126.1** (300SDL, 350SD, 350SDL) -W124 (300D) -W201 (190D) -W210 (E300D) If any of my styles/models are mismatched or are incorrect, please let me know. Remember, vote for which one of these you like the LEAST. Which one you think is the UGLIEST. If you are unsure what some of these look like, take a trip to images.google.com

None of the above. I would vote for the W140. It's a big, bland boat that is also ugly on the inside because of it's rod-bending engine.

I agree... the 140 is hideous... OK, so out of the above (sorry, I would have added more such as the W140 but 10 is the max. # of poll options allowed on these boards) which do you like the least?

I dislike the W201 and the W124. The 210 and 211 are nice, but Mercedes hasn't had a truly "classy" body since the 126, IMO.

Since the W140 is not on the list I'll vote W120/121 because of it's bubble-butt. I still want one, if only for it's sheer classic coolness.

I like the W140 because it reminds me of the W126. The W210 is bland though.

I think there is some beauty to the 210, 140, and 115. I go with the 124 as the ugliest.

Just put them in order by year; newer = uglier.
To bad you didn't count gassers, the CLS is the all-time worst; ricer ugly. Given your choices, it has to be the W210. Last edited by Craig; 03-10-2008 at 08:32 AM. |

I vote for any 107, 116, 126 etc with those huge ugly US spec bumpers from the 70's and 80's!

I voted W124 solely because of how the rear of the car looks. It looks like they had a designer work on the car up until the rear, then an intern took over.

I'm adding the selection and voting for the new ML thing that you can get with a CDI in it. HORRIBLE, as are all of the MLs in my opinion.

Agreed, the ML. Not that it or the 210 are necessarily ugly, just lack character or M-B identity, look more like something out of Detroit's design studios. Certain colors are worse than others.
Some of Mercedes' designs caused the Japanese and American cars to copy them, some were indistinguishable when they arrived.
