Pretty much perfect from a styling point of view.

Also it's comparatively heavy, and is an automatic, it was also bought by rich yuppies and other very uncool people originally, then it was bought by wanna be gangsters, now it's bought by nerds.

I see no reason not to go SZ.
 
Now this Merc is cool and being associated with some of the more shady things in this world doesn't hurt it to me, the instant dated other Merc being pooled is the opposite.
 
One of the smoothest looking 80's cars that I've seen.

Solid cool.
 
Unfortunately, to me it looks really tacky at some angles. The wheels look like that a ricer decided to put some offset on the car. The looks of an R32 Skyline doesn't help.

It is, however, quite understated, to me at least. Uncool.
 
This car goes perfectly with pink shirts, white chinos, leather loafers (no socks), gold chains and seedy strip clubs.

It's every 80's crime-drama cliche rolled into a 1.8 ton brick of rolling excess.

Sub-zero.
 
I once tried to nominate nismo 400r and I wasn't able to.
During the early 1980s and up until 1990, AMG offered a variety of engine performance packages, alloy wheels and styling products as an entirely independent company from Daimler-Benz. In 1990, AMG signed a co-operation agreement with Daimler-Benz, and AMG options and cars were then offered in Mercedes-Benz showrooms; in 1999 Daimler AG, then known as DaimlerChrysler AG, bought the controlling share of AMG and made them part of the official Mercedes-Benz line-up.[6]

So basically during the time of production mb and amg started to cooperate

I saw of one these quite a while ago, and loved the look of it. It's not what you'd expect from a Mercedes Benz. Car in question:

Well, it's actually a 500 SEC AMG, but it's close enough, right? Either way, the 560SEC is perfect. You can see it from so many different angles and nothing seems out of place on the thing. It's a clean design and I love it. Cool
 
I would have this car's babies if I could. And with that much testosterone on display, that's highly likely. SZ. Call me.
