R170 v R129..

[DSB SL AMG]

i think you know the majority answer....lol 129 all the way, i am biased tho as i have the pleasure of owning one, pick a pre-facelift unmolested version before the MB/Chrysler costdown team got there hands on it

Princess Di drove an R129 and it wasn't pink.

Not far from though

Yup!!! I agree with that. All the R170s I've seen have been driven by girls! Mind you, all the MLs, X5s, Range Rovers etc I've seen have been driven by girls too!

Which reminds me of a funny story in the Russian news a couple of days ago. One of the Russian gold medal winners at Vancouver was rewarded with an Audi Q5 when he got back to Moscow. But, he was very unhappy with it and demanded it be changed to a Q7 because Q5s are girls cars! How ungrateful was that!

The image thing is weird. R170 still suffers, but IMHO the roof far outweighs the negative jibes.

R129 is so ugly with that droopy front end. Which is, of course, why women don't like them.
