[W126 Coupe] From today's Wall Street Journal

[Gary Green]

It's not for me to say, but I do not think Gerry was posing the question,
just passing along something he READ in the WSJ...

Gery,

Sorry, but I can not admire your choice. Especially about the Lexus. That
piece on 4 wheels is a copy cat of pieces from european cars. Look at the
body line. The parts do not flow into each other.
Bad ,bad taste.

Good luck,
Ronny
