I mean it's just the right size. It's rear wheel drive, It's extremely safe in an accident and it's built like a tank with such quality that even a 15-20 year old one that is taken care of is practically like new.
How did they do it? Achieve automotive perfection, I mean? And why would anybody drive anything else? Need to go fast, get a turbo 240. Want an SUV? A 240 wagon holds just as much. Need high gas mileage? Get a 240 diesel. What more do you need in life?

I love your enthusiasm, but when you read up, you'll discover that the 240 only became pretty good as it matured. Early ones were very rust prone and had cooling-, electrical, and head gasket problems. Also, their rear axle has been frowned upon by the motor press even when they came out.
I agree that the 240 is a great car, but I'd have to say the best car ever built is probably the 1985-1994 Mercedes E-Class.

I had a buddy in college years ago that had one we called "The Vibrator". It actually did vibrate quite readily when crusing down the highway...like sitting in a massage chair.

It all comes down to what people can afford, insurance, and if any are available in their area.
