Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL
The big Benz 560 SEL was the pinnacle of the luxury sedan segment in the 1980s. If you were somebody in the 1980s, you had a 560 SEL. The sedan was the cream of the crop when it came to luxury and its powerful engine choices didn’t disappoint. The 560 SEL was the last Mercedes-Benz that was a quality product (via Car Gurus).
The 560 SEL was a focal point of Miami Vice and with good reason. There were very few sedans that could compete with the 560 SEL in terms of quality and performance. Sure, you had the BMW 7-Series, but back then it was nothing like the 560 SEL. Looking at the Miami scene that Miami Vice centered around, it’s no mystery that the 560 SEL made it into the series.
