Mercedes W140 Coupe

With some W140 coupes (500SEC, 600SEC, CL500, CL600) hovering around $10,000, they are quite affordable. Every time I see one, I'm reminded of my strong belief that it is the ugliest Mercedes ever made.
It looks big (in a bad way), unruly, and blunt. There is zero sophistication.

What I dislike most about the W140 coupe is the thick black gap that separates the trunk lid from the rest of the rear end. It looks crude.

Which class is classier?

I actually like the W215 Coupe a lot more. It has a smoother styling. 2001-2002 models are starting to show up in the $15,000 range on Ebay motors.

I drive a W140 coupe and it's a truly amazing car. I also think its beautiful and I turn plenty of head driving it.
