| W124 Question
A few days ago I saw film about automobile industry in China. Audi and VW still build their late 80s-early 90s models there. So I would to ask, if there is any country in which the W124 is still build(e.g. China, India, Africa, Southern America...)? |

There is supposedly a W124 rip off being made in China by a chinese company. It is not a Mercedes Benz, but uses plans either bought from or stolen from them. |

Well, not exactly. There is a 124 derivative being built by South Korean carmaker SsangYong. It uses 124 developed chassis, engine and other technology under liscence from Mercedes-Benz, but has a completely different, though MB-derivative, exterior. It even has the famous "jumping" windscreen wiper. See:
