I used to like the W140, then I didn't, now I am appreciating it a little...maybe as it is heading for 20 years old now. The coupes always had a strange interest for me, such a big bulky thing, very odd, but it pulled it off, maybe not as well as the 126 coupe. Bruno Sacco owns a beautiful blue C140.
 
I see the W126 as pretty much a perfect design, I can't imagine MB or anyone else repeating something so balanced and timeless. Modern cars don't seem to bother with simple elegance.

Sheesh! Until I saw the three-pointed star, I thought I was looking at a concept car for the Lexus GS! What's with those goofy taillights? They DO look more Korean than German.
 
Someboduy visiting a next door neighbor pulled up in a black W126 S-Class. That is still a sharp-looking car to this day!

The W126 was good enough to be copied by Toyolex when it was 10 years old...

I like the first and mildly redesigned second gen Lexus LS too. Very hansome lines imo.

Yeah, I don't mind those either, they were derivative of something good. Lots of them still out there too, so they have proven themselves.
 
The 01-06 (I think) design has to be a derivative of the W140, too. It wasn't quite as decent looking, a big isolation tank.
 
The current pretentious model does nothing for me, although I should give credit that it is finally its own design.

What the heck is a "Tiquan?"
 
I read that it was a combination of tiger and iguana. It is supposed to represent the traits of both animals. Go figure.

.. first time I've seen one, "in the wild"..
 
Take away the star, and it looks like a Mercedes from the front... Still not seeing $30K-$40K+ for one, though...

Not completely new, but I got behind this commuter car on my drive home from work today, and just had to snap a few pics
 
A good around-town runabout
 
Snappy acceleration for highway merging
 
Great for cruising suburban roads

TL vs. Genesis by texases

Coincidence - saw a new TL (black) parked next to a new Genesis ('sapphire blue pearl' they call it, dark). There was not a line on the TL that looked good. Odd front (especially in black, I imagine silver would conceal the grille surround), odd front fender bump, odd rear side window, heavy looking rear trunk, narrow/slanted rear window. The Genesis looked fine, nothing that offended, clean lines. If I had to choose between those two it'd be the Genesis. I'll be going to the Dallas car show in two weeks, I'll compare the Genesis to the CTS.
