Replacement for 1987 W124?

[DrJ]

My 1987 w124 -- a 300E -- obviously is getting old. He'll be fine for another five years or so, but I've started to think about a replacement.

Simply, what Benz should I consider?

I love the size, ergonomics, materials quality, simplicity and reliability of the old guy. I'm not a big fan of all of the modern electronics, but there seems to be no avoiding this. Keeping maintenance costs down is important (I don't work on cars) as long as the solid quality feel is kept.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
