2013 CTS-V, 2017 Audi Q7 / Past MB's: 2011 ML350 & 2012 ML350
For the time this car had amazing equipment.
-Automatically leveling air springs. It actually had a switch in the trunk to disable the system for tire change like when you jack up the car it would not adjust air pressure for the changing level sensor. Wonder how MB missed this little detail as my car air springs get all messed up when changing the tire in one corner of the car.
-It had 10-way adjustable front seats.
-It had a driving computer in the center console to tell you all sorts of info. Had average and instant fuel mileage, average speed, trip etc.
- It had 100% hydraulic brake system. By far the best of any ABS system I have driven including the two MB cars I have had. It did not use engine vacuum for boosting. It had hydraulic pump that charged a hydraulic accumulator that operated the brakes.
-It even had the automatic High / Low beam switch that changed lights based on traffic. This was a small plastic box mounted right under the rear view mirror and you could also adjust the sensitivity of it too.
-It had the trunk pull down motor, i.e. you would not slam the trunk lid. You would just gently push it to the hook that then pulled it closed.
-It had cornering lights.
The cat was very heavy and gave a real nice ride yet firm enough for our speeds. And it gave me 24 MPG on highway with the old 5.0 L Ford V8! And this car was built almost 30 years ago now.
For those that don't know this car it is the same that James Bond drove in the movie filmed in New Orleans area. Don't remember the name of the movie now...
If they would build those again I would buy one.

It would be interesting what a 2014 version of that car would be like..

Good thread...here goes
-'69 Mustang Grande (@ 16 yrs old
)
-'96 Pathfinder
-'84 Trans Am
-'95 s10 SS
-'99 Camaro z28
-'97 GMC Sonoma 4x4
-'00 Dakota R/T
-'06 Titan (shared with wifey)
-'94 Camaro z28
-'02 Maxima
-'05 E55 (current)
-'10 E350 (current, shared with wifey)
The only 2 I wish I could get back are the Mustang and the '99 Camaro. Mustang because it was just one of those cars that you own your whole life, just wished we crossed paths at a time where I had the money to fix it up, and the Camaro because it was 1 of only a handful built that year painted in Hugger Orange w/ a 6 speed and t -tops.
