A great car from the days, when there used to be a huge gap between the S and the 7 series.
Some consider the looks of the car to be too "brutal" - I love it.

The last generation S-class (before the current one) was really quite the runt of the line.

Pictured above, next to the new gen, is the short wheel base (not available in America and only available on the S430 in Canada).

The long wheel base version looks much better:

I have a soft spot for the really boring early 70s sedans.

560 SL is the best. Thought about buying one as a daily driver but thought better of it as it is a 20 y.o. car.

For some reason I've never been a fan of MB.
