If I got a W223 in white, I bet you none of my neighbors would even realize I got a new car.

Styling at least.
‘Mercedes updates used to always set the trend. The new C class doesn’t have a front end that looks modern. It looks like the previous Gen. it looks old. The new C looks like a refresh 2.0 to me
the new model S doesn’t get confused with the previous Gen

People confuse them all the time, this is talked about all over the place. The pictures you posted thats a SWB 222 and a LWB 223, the basic shape of the 223 is the same as the 222, greenhouse is the same, same as the C Class. I don't confuse them, but I don't confuse the C Classes either. That C Class picture you posted is a base euro spec one, in a good spec they look great.
Mercedes has kind of positioned themselves as the stable design studio when everybody else is making crazy designs like BMW...

That is neat…. Mine’s too old for anything obviously.
I’m a seat belt wearer absolutely but chimes drive me INSANE, my LX. I don’t get around to it right away every time, it will ding for 45 seconds.
In the old analog Benz the seatbelt warning is a light that comes on with the other ones at startup and goes right off. Not even a regular chime.
That’s glorious. Even I was surprised at first at how lax the seat belt warning is.

Beautiful car.
These are the real stars of the show here! The C126.
One of my favorite Mercedes models.

Strange your SL should have a seatbelt beeper like the one in the video below. My grandparents W210 had that beep too, accompanied by a dialtone of the car phone powering up.

The beep is fine, before that up to about 1996 Mercedes had 1970s-like long buzzes for startup beeps.

All my cars are silent, it's annoying and I coded out all warnings. I know to use the belt lol! I need them for how I drive

Its interesting that in Canada you can get the chrome window surrounds with the M Sport package on the 7 but we can't.

‘I know. When you think of the size of the US market, it’s astonishing that the United States doesn’t have the short wheelbase in the long wheelbase base Another thing we always got here was the top trim of E class 450. it didn’t debut in the United States when the last generation launched. The US also gets more Japanese made gasoline Toyota Corolla. Where is Canada doesn’t get any gasoline Toyota Corolla only the hybrid Corolla
