I watched the 959 video. I loved the 959 when it came out and I was a teenager reading about it in all of the magazines, and what I loved was the performance and engineering.

Later, when I finally got a 911 and went back and looked at 959s (videos or photos, never in person) I thought "that styling hasn't aged well." It's still an amazing car, but I don't much care for the styling (although I do love the steering wheel since it's the same wheel that was in the old targa that I had).

I'm watching the 190SL video now, and before Sandy ever said it, I was thinking "the back end looks a little low." LOL! The decal on the hood looks like something that Mercedes might have wanted on a racecar. I think it would look cleaner without it, but it's not that bad. The SL is a beautiful car. I have always loved the aesthetics of the SL series, pretty much all/any of them. It looked and sounded fun to drive.
