RE: spy shots of new S-class

Quote:
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.
Great analogy! [:)]

The W126 is just so right from a design point of view - form and function blended together in such a subtle, coherent way.

The logical car for me to get after my W126 is a W140 - but I'm not tempted. There are only 2 items from the W140 that I'd like on my W126 to make it better: a 5-speed auto and better sound insulation, but I think I can live without them.
