My dad has an S..nice car, but even in AMG form it is nowhere near as muscular looking or as fast as the W211 E55 AMG

I guess I really don't see the styling in those cars, to me its a blob of a car and the only reason it attracts attention, is because of its price tag and its power..
I fail to see anything to even related to the word styling in the MB lineup, I don't think their designs are in the least bit tasteful, innovative or that attractive...
Liking those cars it seems to me, is kinda like praising the looks of the kinda ugly chick in highschool , and telling her you love her, because everyone says she gives a great blowjob, not cuz you really like her or she is really that pretty, its popularity by association rather than on whole package credentials...
Some cars styling is timeless, and have a definite form which stands out, end every body line flows to create a car that looks great from any angle, to me the MB is totally forgetable, where as cars like the 300ztt, 69 camaro, early 80's 930, FD, 70 charger, carve a 3d image in our minds, that is recognizable from any distance...Unfortunatly, the blob design, will start to show up in chrysler probably...Maxt

I am really glad to see that your taste and knowledge in RX7's and rotary engines has got you this far, but what you don't realize is that MB IS the innovator when it comes to features (safety/comfort/styling) and most people with knowledge outside of imports will vouch for that. Lexus has been coined for years as a "poor facsimile of a Mercedes Benz" and the other import companies constantly take ideas presented first by MB. Look at the honda accord coupe..its like their lazy designer put a piece of tracing paper over a CLK....sheesh...MB had ABS in 1986, they had Dual Air bags in 1990, they had 10 air bags in the S class in 2000...they have THE BEST auto transmissions in the business(from the super quick, high torque handling 5 spd to the Ultra high tech 7spd out this year). They are the first to have Bi-xenon, they produce some of the most reliable engines and the luxury, image and class they bring doesn't even need to be discussed. Mercedes-Benz cars have major recognition..try the 1954 300SL gullwing...ask any real car entusiast and that is one of the best cars out there for vintage. I highly disagree that the SLK (rage's, kenny's ex) and the SL's are blobs by any means. The W124 (mine) was the most over engineered car they ever built, with cars having a million plus miles on them being used as taxis in europe and still going strong. I could sell you on it all day, the truth of the matter still remains that your opinion is your own...even if you are the only one that seems to "share" it.

Anyone else?? LOL ;)

You seem to be confused I am guessing you can read, but you seem to have missed what I was saying... Were we talking about MB's engines and transmissions, I wasn't... At no time did I ever question MB's technical expertise, and that is not what I was bring up as my opionion, despite what MB has done under the hood, it is my opinion, and my right to say so, that really compared to other cars out there, they are styless blobs, they have no real form, it looks like a piece of putty that someone tried to square up , but it wouldn't quite holds its shape...Rage's and Kenny's car's whatever model they are , still have little to no form, compare the MB he drives to the porsche 944, the 944 has form, the mb really doesn't, its a forgettable shape...
I don't like the way car looks, in fact I don't like the way any of MB's cars looks, they have nil character...You took it personally, and thats your problem...Maxt
oh by the way, Mercedes attempt at the rotary never got to production, but Mazda's did....:)...

I sort of have to agree with Max regarding the styling. I saw one on the street and it looked plain.

I suppose it's stealthy, which may be a good thing.

I personally prefer the styling of the last E55 better.

ZorroAMG
01-14-2004, 01:54 PM
Yes, maybe to non MB enthusiasts, i can agree it doesnt stand out from the regular E class, but neither does the M5 and a regular 5 series if you look quickly...

C4S
01-14-2004, 02:04 PM
They do that by purpose !

M5 or E55 are the best sports Sedan in the world anyway, the the original 5 series and the E class, are nice looking car already, they don't need to make them look like another cars from other planet !

Look at S4, M3, GT-2, GT-3, they are all base on super nice cars ! and their looks are good !

Even a 300TT and a 300, not huge different in looks ! :eek:


However, I don't like Benz brings out the "horsepower war" by adding Super-charge or Turbo .. 469HP on E55 now, then a 500+ HP M5, and 612HP CL65 ... :confused:

E36M3
01-14-2004, 02:06 PM
I think you're right. I'm not really interested in Mercedes, since to me the styling of most of the models seems to blend together, particularly the "regular" cars vs. the AMG models.

When looking at a BMW M Series though, I see a completely different car, even though to a non-BMW enthusiast, it may look a lot like the regular car.

In any case, I like E55 a lot, but I wish it came with a proper manual transmission and that the chassis was a little tighter. Guess the M5 is more to my liking, although unfortunately the new one is destined to be uglier than hell.

Put it this way, E class is a very nice car, and they don't really just a "good -looking" car, but overall, a nice car !

I think that 86-95 style E class is a Classic, just like a 88-95 BMW 5 series.

However, the biggest disappointment on nowaday Benz is .. cheap material interior .... :(

Look at a 1994 E class and a 2004 E class .. and you guys will know what I mean .. or look at a 1994 S class and a 2004 E class, a 1994 SL and a 2004 SL .. :(

I don't need my eyes opened up at all, by even mentioning rx-7, I can see you are taking this personally, as some sort of attack on you, hence the retalliatory comment on the seven, I am to old to play my dads better than your dad with you...... There are alot of cars I don't like that I can tell a mile off, being a fan of brand is one thing, but as you are/have realised its opinion, then again, some people think Phyllis Diller had class, those are probably MB marketshare....

I can agree with that, although I don't really care for beamers, they do have styling, and they manage to tie the usual bmw styling hallmarks into any package rather tastefully, alot like Chrysler did with the crosshair grill formula, Bmw's while not everyones cup of tea, have some substance to the design, and have a body line with some symmetry from the front to the back of the car, or have withstood the evolution of the headlight without drastically changing the character of the marque... Some companies know how to tie in the lights to the design of the car, Nissan is pretty good at it, but look at GM, they have a tough time with just about every light on the car, ...

You're the one with these kind of comments though.

As for evolution of the headlights, look at my 94, they're actually not that different from those of todays, just take out the rectangular housing, my car still has two large round lights.

I can see where you're coming from though but I'm betting you've never driven a benz other than possibly a c class. I hated Mercedes and always wanted a Bimmer, until I saw my car on the lot and drove it, and asked the owner if he would sell it. Driving a Mercedes changed my opinion on mercedes.

Mercedes fell behind Audi, Porsche and BMW in headlight technology from the mid-90s up until a couple of years ago.

For a long time, Mercedes retained primitive reflector headlights even after the other German manufacturers adopted superior projector headlights.

Headlight technology:
Projector > Reflector

http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/car-oem-hid.htm

This is what a good set of modern projectors will do. I doubt any '94 vehicle can come close to this. No offense. :)

Yes ! I am totally with, we all know C class offer cheap interior, and the hatchback is even a joke ! (but they are cheap)however, looking into a E500, SL500, they are not the "entry" level Benz, and they have nice "look" inside, but their qulity is no longer there .. way behind Audi and BMW.

Their price are more "reasonable" now, however, as a consumer, I rather pay more, to get better Qulity ! otherwise, why not just buy a Toyota or Honda ? :dunno:

E36M3
01-16-2004, 01:55 PM
I haven't looked into a lot, but Benz always seems to be about 15% more than a direct competitor, and I just don't really understand the appeal.

I agree, though, that the interior quality has gone way downhill. ugh. My benz has been in the shop like 6 times in four months.

Not at all. If you go and buy a used 7-Series (the newer design one) you will almost get it for half of the retail price, depending on KM's and options.

A consultant at our office mentioned his co-worker bought one for less than 2/3 cost of a new one (2002, average milage). Not quite half price as mentioned by Porsche_944, but still cheap none the less.

Yea not EXACTLY half price, but damn close. I saw an article on Auto Spies or somewhere on the internet before. I'll try to find it if I can. But it was defiantly between 1/2-2/3 if the retail price.

This one?

http://www.imakenews.com/autospies/e_article000179095.cfm

Which car holds its value better?

BMW_745li or Mercedes-Benz S430?

Both cars MSRP's are_similar with the usual options_(2003 models) but how much are they really worth today, if you wanted to get out and trade for something else.

And the winner is?
There is no winner this week…It’s a tie!
_
BMW 745Li (2003 current wholesale value-$64,000)
Mercedes-Benz S430_(2003 current wholesale value-$61,000)

Remember, the 745 is around $78K with typical options and the Benz is $75K (source: Edmunds). That accounts for the $3K difference.

I'm not sure, it's been a while since I saw it. It could be that but I don't think it is.

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.. I read Autospies all the time (and spoken to the guy that runs the site for info), and have looked for a cheap used 745i in the hopes that was true, but they seem to hold their value really well.

If you see one at 50% less than MSRP, please let me know though, I'd buy it in a second.

Yeah, super cheap, and well below wholesale. If it is true, he got a smoking deal.

A consultant at our office mentioned his co-worker bought one for less than 2/3 cost of a new one (2002, average milage). Not quite half price as mentioned by Porsche_944, but still cheap none the less.

Well if you have talked to the guy who runs the site, I guess I must have been mistaken. Sorry, I'm guessing that was the article then. Good luck with your purchase if you are considering buying a car.

BMW 745Li (2003 current wholesale value-$64,000)
Mercedes-Benz S430_(2003 current wholesale value-$61,000)

Weird, I always thought the 745Li competed with the S600 or at least the S500.

So why are you trying so hard to change mine, with points that are meaningless to what I said in the first place...maxt

How can you compare a Mazda to a Mercedes? That's like comparing K-Mart to Gucci!

Those pics sucked, the first two I took in a rush as I needed to be some place. On my way back it was still there so I took a couple more as I walked by, it was busy and people tend to stare.

The 760 competes directly with the S600, and the 745 is closer in price/specifications to the S430, although it is often compared to the S500 because the content/performance is very similar.

Yeah, I forgot about the 760, I was trying to figure out if there was a higher model and no designations sounded right to me.
