I like the coupes. I guess you could say they are "sportier" and I think they look amazing decked out with the AMG stuff. Wagons are a close second.

Coupe. Specially if it's a C123 300cd-turbo AT! So far, it's a landslide....

The sedans for me... the more "stately" looking of the w123's. Like the wagons second... w123 wagons are the hottest wagons ever made. The coupes are very pretty, but the raked windshield and slightly lower looking roofline kill the "stately" look I like about the sedans.

i'd go coupe, wagon, sedan. the sedan is just the most regular looking. i love the lines of the coupe and the lack of a B piller. the wagon is also unique and i appreciate that

I'm sorry, I honestly cannot choose! It's a cop-out answer I realize but I seriously cannot pick one over the other. To me, the fact it is a W123 is the top qualifier, there can be none lesser or better.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

Looks like a landslide though
