Your Least Favorite MB ?

 

With me it's a tie between the ML's and the SLK (looks like a mini-submarine to me )

Yeah,MLs- formulaic sell-out shite.Indicitive of the downshift in the company's philosophy.
And if anyone votes for 107s-there is something wrong with their head.Prolly contains a worm or something.

The 300 TD has got to be the ugliest.

RE: Your Least Favorite MB ?

Bah the oil burners are the best. They just prove the moral of the tortoise and the hare: slow and steady wins the race :biggrin:  At least this is true here, I hardly see any 280E's or 280CE's, but tons of diesels. Same with W116 450SEL's. Hardly no 380SEL's, but tons of 300SD's.

And the W123 wagons are a thing of beauty! I'd love to get my hands on a Euro 240TD 5 speed, make it in a wacky old school color like mint green or "Dutch Football Orange" please

I am not a huge fan of the 190 series either. They aren't bad, but the base model engine is nothing special. The 2.3 doesn't even put out a lot of power, yet it's gas mileage is nothing spectacular, and it drinks premium. Also I suppose if they are well maintained they are reliable, but I have seen many with warped heads, headgasket issues, and hydraulic valve lifter issues as well. What is the point? My Subaru took 87 and would roast my friends 190 in a straight line. Embarassing. The 2.6 makes some sense, and I sure do like the 190D 2.5 Turbo

I also agree that the early ML's are pretty goofy looking, and terribly unreliable to boot. However, the new body style is ok.

For me definitely the C230 Kompressor Sport Coupe AWFUL!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.. their least favorite doesn't mean the car is crappy, they just don't like it because of whatever reason they may have.

That C class is a nice looking car. That car is totally stock. Maybe that's why you didn't like it but if it's equip with the right moddification then the C class will be an eye catching car.

Besides.. if it looks like an Accord, its Honda copying Mercedes design.. that C-class has been introduced in 1995, and the Accord was out in 1998?
