Well hello there Mbenz people. I am the the rook who is now sporting a new look.
I was not looking to buy a Benz but could'nt pass it up when the opportunity presented itself. I have a 1996 E320 that I bought off a friend whose wife did not appreciate it being a rear wheel drive car in Michigan. She was not very cnofident driving it in the snow.
I am going through withdrawl here because I have always been a Honda man (currently own two) over the years. HEEEY it is not funny, I am being serious here MAAAN. There was something about this car the first time I drove it made me think "I 'm in the mood for love". My honda's hold a special place in my heart but I cannot help but think about this new relationship that I am going to develop with my Mersoupes.
I got a question but I am too emotional to ask it right now![Frown](https://mercedesforum.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)

My wife loves Hondas! She talked me into buying a new accord6, 6spd; I guess I'n not a Honda man, I sold it 5 months later.
Here's some differences I noticed between the Honda accord 6spd and the clk, that led me into selling my accord and buying the clk.
The accord "bobbed" on its springs after coming to a stop, the clk doesn't. (major annoyance)
The accord rear dives during acceleration and front dives during braking, the clk doesn't, much less.
When I lean against the accord the body panels pop in-out, the clk is solid. (major annoyance)
My Honda dealer lost interest in me after the purchase, where my Mercedes dealer lets me sit in cars I could NEVER afford, when the only thing Iv'e bought from them in the last four years has been t-shirts and car wax in the gift shop.
People on the road bullied me and tailgated me in the accord.
Other drivers treated it like crap; dinged the doors from front to rear.
I like the Benz because its sturdy, and strong, and fast. There's nothing wrong with Honda; they simply have a different competitive priority. I think they value economy over strength.
OK, teens never really look at my car; they probably don't even know what it is. But I really like the car, and every once in while, someone I do not even know will approach me to say they like it too.
