Roberto,

You are absolutely correct. Sacco thought the 600 to be a bit garish due in part to its overuse of chrome to mask its larger than life mass. Interesting how design evolves. He was most proud of the W124 coupe and redo (late 1985) W126 s-classes. I think the slab sided Continenals are quite handsome and many cars today take their cues from them. The 'chinese eyed' RR/Bentleys, however, lack the grace of the Phantom Vs and S2s.
