I just bought a '98 SL500 and to me that car is so beautiful for a 20 year old car that I paid less than the price of a Hyundai Accent.

I think from a quality standpoint, just as well as anything else. From a styling standpoint they'll age as well as most appliance cars, quickly forgotten when the next new model comes out. But most appliance car buyers aren't cross shopping 20 year old Mercedes coupes.

The Genesis is really a different niche, more of a Lexus LS on a budget. I've read several comparisons between the Stinger and European sport sedans and it sounds like unless you are really hustling the Stinger, like on a track, then they are very comparable. For most people that will be more than enough, and the Stinger offers more equipment and power for less money.
