Funny stuff. Very interesting... I (a W140 owner), read you W126 comments on the new S-Class, the then W220 comments on the same car. http://benzworld.org/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1196316&posts=4&fid=19#M1378617 The two sets of comments are on 2 totally opposites ends of the spectrum.

that really is interesting... to each his/her own.
As for me, it looks cheap, and there is something inherently dissatisfying about the contour where the hood meets the front windshield and also the fenders (or lack there of - as if they were sliced off with a cheese cutter - yes, it stinks).
To use an SLR camera analogy, W126 to me is like a vintage Leica Camera - solid, elegant, and understated. The newer S class cars are like cheap plastic bodied cameras with big blobular handgrips that are indistinguishable from one manufacturer's model to another.
