The only thing I don't like now is I think Mercedes has lost the classic look their older model cars had. You could always tell a Mercedes instantly, it was so distinct. Now the sedans look like a lot of other high end sedans.
I stopped liking SL's after they putzed that design up. I had a 560SL that rocked like a sports car should. Then got the new style SL after that and it felt so sedate in comparison. You couldn't feel the road as much. It got too luxurious.
But they are the best engineered and built cars still in my opinion. And if you take good care of them they last forever.

agreed, i have a '97 S320 LWB now with 100K miles that drives like brand new. the S class cars are the best i've ever owned, and i used to be in the auto business. nothing better on the road IMO
