A bloody Opel
Just picked up a friend of a friend from A & E in Marbella. He has always rated BMWs but not MBs.

He didn't know that I was picking him up neither did he know I had a W124 not having seen me for some time. He had just had an accident and both eyes are covered with bandages for a few days so he is effectively blind poor bugger.

I led him to the car and he sat in it and said nothing all the way back to his place. When we got there he asked what the car was and how old it was, I told him and that it was 13 and a half years old, then he said that it was the nicest drive he had ever had for some years and he was bowled over by the comfort, solidity, smoothness and quietness especially considering its age. His lack of sight allowed him to concentrate on the feel and the sound of the car.

A convert? We´ll see.
 
I like that tale (though not your friends illness) - funny how substance overrides style when the visual side of things is taken out.
