Of course it does! It is relaxing and everything is simple to use. Unlike the crappy I-Drive system!

I wonder if they were measuring the driver's heart rate when the instrument cluster said:


STOP! - Airmatic - car too low!
STOP! - ABC - car too low
Drive in 2nd gear to workshop (transmission fault)


Pretty sure the heart rates would have gone through the roof

I notice that they didn't really mention which type of vehicles they compared it to. Were the other drivers in similar cars like the A8, E350, or a Lexus?
Were they compared to low end cars?
Or were they compared to sports cars like a Corvette or Lambo :P

Yes, I see that they also compared it to the W126, but that test was a while ago.

It doesn't. Lexus buyers are usually so old they've already flatlined.

So if your heart stops beating it would be 60 fewer problems?

That is what happens when the dealership gives you the bill after fixing those 60 problems.

Nah, you trade it in way before 15 problems. 60 less heartbeats = zombification.
