Yeah, W140's. Awful. My dad had the first year and after a handful of the previous 560's (SEL, SEC and SL), the W140 drove and felt cheap. Same went for the stupid R129 SL, even though the previous one had been built for nearly 20 years.
Maybe it's personal though, I drove the 500SEL into the side of the garage one night, taking the lesser of two evils between the wall and the SL. Then a few years later I ripped a wheel off of the SL doing an ill advised launch on a turn covered in wet leaves. Never put a scratch on any of the 560's.
But then there's also the funny memory of the looks I got as a teenager with shoulder length hair, blaring Nirvana, delivering Chinese food in the SEL when my CRX was in the shop.
