Yay for the SEL! MAN Those things looks ugly without the one piece euro headlights. That was like the FIRST thing I did to mine.

top left ftw! (minus the foglights). I have one of those.... as a toy car =Þ.

As for modern S-Classes, my vote goes for the 89-00 version (sorry, don't know the code name).

Great picture!!! My faves, first and foremost, the W126 (best selling S-Class of all time!), also like the W221 (current) and W140 (successor to the W126).

what an amazing pic, the S has truly evolved gracefully, although I am not a huge fan of the current form

Yep, same here

I loved it when the w140 1st came out and they called it the "Mega-Sedan"
It was sweet when they used it in The Peacemaker with Clooney

They should've used the amg package on the w221 to make it look decent

That 560 sel was GANGSTA with the Lorenzos though

That was the first Benz I ever rode in, and the only reason I ever bought a Benz. And well, the S-class has been all downhill from there...

Found it.

Here's a picture of the evolution of the Mercedes CL coupe.

Sorry, I hope Mike doesn't mind me posting it in his thread.
