Mercedes all the way!
meanwhile, lexus is...
offering a wristwatch that links to their Keyless-Go system - that opens the car door and enables you to start the car with a button ON THE WATCH! now, i do wonder what happens if you happen to be wearing something else or rush out of the house without the watch, but still, i think it's a pretty cool concept - at the very least, you will feel like James Bond and impress a few chicks:

[note: toyota crown is not sold in many countries outside japan - it's marketed slightly below the toyota celsior i.e. LS]

Merc also has a cool wristwatch - it plays MP3s and is a USB-based hard drive.

I know, the most I've ever seen him do with his watch is detonate a bomb or shoot a laser out of it.
