  • Mercedes-Benz introduced the W126 for the 1981 model year, and it expanded the range during the 1980s. Six- and eight-cylinder models were offered, plus long- and short-wheelbase variants and a coupe called C126 internally. Launched for 1986, the 420SEL was positioned in the middle of the range until 1991. The W140 (which later became the first model marketed as an S-Class) replaced the W126 for 1992.
