Anyone else notice in the new commercials when they proudly declare how well built the MB line is and they mention even a quarter century ago, then they show a pic of the 115?
Huh?

Yeah, those don't get a lot of love from the factory either. But Hollywood likes 'em.

The W123 and 126 look a little too modern for the point they are trying to make.

I agree with Craig. Using a fintale might be a bit of a streach, but you still see a few 115's and 114's on the road in California, which is a big market for Mercedes.

it's footage that's already made.
