[MBZ] 123 Wagons

[andrew strasfogel]

The 123 300TD is the best car Mercedes ever made, if you factor in such
criteria as durability, endurance, maintenance costs (low), practicality,
fuel economy, comfort, handling, and (arguably) retro-good looks.  Other
models may exceed he TD for a particular criterion or even two, but if you
rate the cars on ALL the criteria, the 300TD will the highest overall number
of points.
