Replying to: vcheng (Jan 14, 2009 5:34 am) If ever the term "resting on its laurels" applied to a car company, it applied to Rolls Royce, which rested for a good 50 years merely on previous reputation. That's what gorgeous leather and wood can do for you!

So, fintail, if I wanted to acquire, say, a '76 240D that was in really good condition with decent mileage and very few needs how much do you think that would set me back? A former middle school teacher I know used to own a '73 220D and a '77 Cadillac Eldorado. I was allowed to drive both on a visit to his place once. Even though the 220 was extremely slow by modern standards, it blew away the much-bigger Cadillac in terms of steering, handling and braking- it was that much better. I thought the Benz was a sports car, compared to that Eldorado. Then again, my '96 Volvo 850 would run rings around both cars.

Replying to: texases (Jan 14, 2009 8:23 am) I'm surprised the 600 didn't handle better but then it is a pretty heavy car. I must prefer the interior of the Rolls however. The 600 is that typically German austere, hard, cold interior. |

Oddly, I think the reverse taper of the c-pillar is the most distinct feature of the previous generation CL. i actually think it quite a handsome car.... i found myelf really falling for the Roller on Top Gear. You don't see the two-door as often,and the cranberry paint was nice....
