Totally different era. It was the golden time for non american cars I reckon, the 80s and 90s. Even a simple "eco-box" grocery getter hatch was a blast to drive.

The modern Mercedes, and others, are so 'over the top' when it comes to styling, LED lights, and so on nowadays. Naturally it's because of competition, you have to come up with some new 'extreemes' regarding design all the time. I love the 'modest' look of the W124, simple clean lines. Yeah, it's all a mattor of personal taste. Well, I'm a w124 guy naturally) I just not have any interest in the modern computer cars, just love the classics

@Rimrock300 6 лет назад

People in general don't care about the technical stuff , they just care about that the LED lights looks cool, and that the brand come up with a new model in 4-5 years, that got even more LED lights

@insideimagery133 6 лет назад

People are fucking stupid, therefore they buy new shining plastic boxes with wheels, that are way more unreliable than any other car in any point of the automotive history. Take a look at modern art, that bullshit, some (though, few) people like it, yet is just a nonsense bullshit like a pen in the middle of a grey room or some trash can in a side walk. So, don't bullshit me with the "if it was better, people would buy it" People are fucking dumb as fuck, they don't know shit about cars, so no wonder they leave legends behind.

why does an '80's car with an aero kit and proper stance look better than 98.999%(+/-1.001%) of cars made in the last 19 years?

@Painwoodstudios 4 года назад

Because they still have the rough edges and clear shapes. For the sake of aerodynamics, cars tend to have more uniform lines this day - which isn't bad in itself, it's just hard to define a distinct character of the car.

@buddhamack1491 4 года назад

Some of it also has to do with safety regulations such as pedestrian collision and crumple zones. Take a look at some ugly cars' original designs, some of the ugliest cars were gorgeous but once it goes through corporate and they see the cost of building it to be beautiful they start to enforce changes. Nothing they like more than making money so they reuse bits/tooling from old cars they have or other manufacturers that fall under ownership of the parent company. Basically safety and money is why.

@hotwire96 6 лет назад

The Autobahn and the straight piece of roadway are an AMG's happy places, was the case back then and to a large extent is still the case today

@lukas4610 6 лет назад

It isn't the case today trust me. I've driven everything from the amg gtr to the new s 400dL and an E all terain. When you push them like really fast into corners, the dampers etc adjust and bodyroll wise, there's absolutely no bodyroll. The S class is still one big lady but it does stay planted.

@Dawwwg 6 лет назад

I know older cars have way more body roll, but for such a lowered kit I'd expected better; perhaps some tired springs & shocks or chopped too much ?

@chriserz94 6 лет назад

This isn't haggard garage, I don't believe any of the cars featured on this channel were on chopped springs...

@alfamonk 6 лет назад

better? Roll is not a bad thing - particularly with older suspension setups. Might be progressive dampers that allow a little soft initial roll then stiffen up. Anyway, on the road it's preferable to have some roll than a rock-hard stiff ride.

Fast German wagons are the best. I have a daily driver 2000 540i touring that's got around 300hp, so while it's not as fast as that Hammer Wagon, it's a lot of fun to drive in its own way. Eventually I'll swap in an 5L engine from an M5 and have a 400hp wagon, that would be nice.

I had a W124 Wagon when I was 18 years old.. I learned how to drift during the harsh Norwegian winters in that baby. Was so much fun. Had it for 5 years and at the end it was drinking oil, but still refused to die. I sold it to a guy who shipped parts to some eastern european country where it gave it's parts to taxis that still run to this date... When I have the money saved up I will for sure buy the flagship E500 w124 sedan, which is just a beatiful car with widened wheel arches from factory. W124 best era of mercedes
