I guess I'm late to realize this, but it just occurred to me that Mercedes no longer has a straight six. I guess it ended with the 124 cars. What is the reason for this switch? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Will the v's run forever as the Benz straight 4 & 6's always have? My inkling would be yes, as the v-8's they made in the 70's & 80's were some of the best engines ever built (excluding the 380). But I've always loved the power delivery from a straight six. From the 1967 230 I had until a few years ago, to the 1986 300e I have now.
It seems to me Benz should always make a straight six....
