Beautiful from the outside? That would be the SL55 and the CLK55 for me.

W124. Technologically advanced for its time, yet utilitarian. Still, it looks a million times better than American and Japanese cars of that period.

I hate the 209, looks way too .. soft for me.

I love the R230, of course I'm biased.

Very nice!

I had a pleasure Seeing an S600 in the flesh lately. Wow what a beauty! It was the update one too! It was non sport but If I bought the S600 I would keep it that way because the 600 wheels are very distintive and that is what caught my eye. S55 is also just Georgous. S Class is a great Car!

SL is a very nice choice. But no offense, it kind of reminds me of a late 40s wife that would be driving. AMG and 600 are another story. I think the CL has the more massive, muscular, and Manly presence that is just so distinctive and powerful.

Allright people

After some thinking I have compiled a list of my favorite MBs.

Here Goes:

1) W203 (Sedan Only)
2) W215
3) W220
4) W210

That is all! Anything else is not worthy on my list I think these are the most Distinctive, Modern looking MBs ever made. (I never really liked MB when they had rectangular Headlights)

Its agreed the W215. The CL is the best looking mercedes to date. No sedan or C class can compare to a cl55, come on i dont care if u own 10 c classes. they simply can not compare to a CL55 in any aspect.Be serious...

looks like you, me and Kwik are the only ones who think that MB's best work predates the last decade or so.

The 1953 300S Conv 4 door Would be My Pick..They only built 25

Second choice would be 1971 600 Grand Conv six door

Then 1971 280SE 3.5 Conv
