Vote for your favorite S-Class!

W136 / W191: 1951-1962

W189: 1954-1957

W121: 1954-1960

W111 / W112: 1959-1971

W108: 1965-1972

W116: 1972-1980

W126: 1979-1991

W140: 1991-1998

W220: 1998-2005

W221: 2005-200X

My vote goes to the W116. The W116 was the revolutionary S-Class back in its day. Its design was a radical departure from the 1960s Mercedes' the world has come to know and the styling cues (inside and out) it introduced were to be found on Mercedes up until the mid 1990s! Aside from that, it looks so cool.

It's between the W126, W140 and W220 for me.... this is actually too difficult.

If it helps, I love them all, but the W116 is just so pimp, I love it so much.

My least favorite has got to be the W140. I never much liked that S-Class generation, though I am slowly warming up to it now.

It is always the latest one to me...no sense of history or sentimental attachment when it comes to cars...I don't own them long enough...

I voted for the W221...

W140, W220 and W221! All wonderful cars!

Gosh I really love the S-Class. This car really holds it`s own in the automotive industry and is indeed one of my favorite 4-door cars. All these models are wonderful, powerful and has a first hand, heavy influence in the automotive kingdome.

This is very tough for me but I chose the W126 because this is the S-Class that started the technological wave in the automotive world in a number of different areas. The design is very rich and elegant, even by todays standards, it`s a timeless classic.

The last three generations have all appealed to me, but the W221 is my choice.

The Artist · 11-22-2006, 03:50 PM

W221:d

Yannis · 11-22-2006, 03:51 PM

The best was W116 in my opinion. The worse is W221.

Centurion · 11-22-2006, 04:35 PM

W140 hands down. It had so much character, it is an icon. Many presidents and royal people including Princess Diana used it. The Russian mobsters loved it. I loved and still love it. The car is kind of my first automotive childhood love.
