The Mercedes-Benz W124 is a range of executive cars made by Daimler-Benz from 1984 to 1997. From 1993, the 124 series was officially marketed as the E-Class. The W124 followed the 123 series from 1984 and was succeeded by the W210 E-Class (saloons, estates, rolling chassis) after 1995, and the C208 CLK-Class (coupés, and cabriolets) in 1997.

I remember the first crash, it's coming from a giant crash event organized by AMS Germany. They crashed almost every big sedan into a wall at 50 km/h. There was the Fiat Croma, Renault 25, Opel Oméga, BMW 5, Merc W124, Nissan Legend, Volvo 740 and co.
They found out that the driver would've been killed in all but 3 cars: the Merc, Volvo and Beemer.
In the Volvo, the driver would loose use of his legs for the rest of its life: the car is too rigid.
In the Beemer and in the Merc, the driver would barely have a headache.
In all the other cars, he would be dead...
The Merc was declared safest car of the bunch. And this particular one didn't had the airbag, who would have eliminate the headache...
