...or a Mercedes. Depends on where your mind is.

I owned a Mercury Grand Marquis. Just as boring as a Zephyr.

I bet the cars behind that 220 gave it a LOT of room.

Uh, guys, the push for a unified styling theme has finally worked at MB.

That is a W203 C class. I'm having a hard time quantifying why, precisely, but I really think you're not looking at a W220. Sez the guy who's carried 8 Audi wheels, with tires, in his W126...

It's hard to tell from that angle, though the gas cap cover is close to the C pillar, unlike the S class.

Probably is a C. Even more amazing, given the size. Rhonda thinks so too.

I know someone who uses his S430 like a pickup truck. I used the SDL to carry a lot of fire wood once.

The S class is a very versital car, and pretty decent off road. With a trailer and roof rack they can probably do most of what a light pickup can do. Carrying 2X4's is tough without a roof rack, you need to feed them through the sunroof.
