![]() | Re: ^^The Great Mercedes-Benz W124 BUYERS GUIDE^^ It still looks so fresh. I much prefer this clean and quietly sophisticated design to what Mercedes is doing now.

In a way I agree with you.. The W124 was an orignal. MB is all about fashion now. When I became an MB fan some time back I began to notice a lot of orignal ideas that the W124 was using, like the single front wiper-blade that covered 86% of the windshield. I began to wonder why MB left that idea with the later E-Class models.

![]() | Re: ^^The Great Mercedes-Benz W124 BUYERS GUIDE^^ Thanks for the amazing collection of articles. Sigh! W124 (and the W126)...good old days...exactly how a Mercedes should have been.

![]() | Re: ^^The Great Mercedes-Benz W124 BUYERS GUIDE^^ Oh...if you have ever driven in a hugh rain storm, you would know why the single-blade was dropped. (As experienced in my W202).

![]() | Re: ^^The Great Mercedes-Benz W124 BUYERS GUIDE^^ He he, I have heard about that before .....but I love the single blade as an idea -- it seems so in keeping with the overall simplicity of the W124's character -- it is a very elegant car ....extremely well designed and engineered all round -- this is what a real Mercedes is all about for me.

My dad's '89 500SL (R129) has this. Come to think of it I drove the car about a week ago in a heavy rainstorm and I just couldn't help but feel that the single wiper at max speed was "underpowered / overworked". ![]()
