      12 years apart... yeah they were really toe-to-toe on this kind of thing . I dont think either show could claim ownership of destruction testing to be honest
      Both were very entertaining and gave a proper insight into the strength and the amount of punishment that a well designed vehicle could take. i was more impressed by the merc to be fair... It was never designed to take the kind of assault that the Toyota might be able to withstand as it was a daily cruiser not a tough workhorse off roader

      Yeah,it looks good a e-trap when you got your 16y.o. girlfriend on your right,but it's just something to go wrong.
      Anyway,accepting the "need" for E trap,what about electrictly adjusted seats,traction "control","esp",heated seats,electroctly adjusting stearing wheel and so on.

    prior 2000's german cars were build like tanks. i had a 92 astra. that thing had 250000 km and neder had a problem. i've sold it 7 years ago and the car still run, i don't know how many miles it have but i speack with the new ouner ans he sad that he never had a problem with it. i also have a neighbour that have an old merc with clouse to a million km and that thing is still running flowlessly. but new mercs, oples, vw aren't that reliable anymore. my cousin have 2005 merc e class and he had only problems with it.

    I think this was produced ages before the topgear Toyota version, at best estimates not later than 2011, since the car age was 16 yrs, assuming they took the latest model produced of the mighty W124 in 1995

    I remember these queens of the road when they rolled out from the Merc show-rooms back in the 80/early 90s , putting most mass-produced manufacturers in the shade 😎 Great Video guys....👍🏼

    This car must be made of the same material as nintendo cartridges. You can run over those with a 18 wheeler and it still works
