My idea of the ultimate Mercedes-Benz "touch"
will remain that PROGRAMMABLE driver's seat
for favored driving positions or various drivers . . .
Not so much the function as the way the designers
set up the "self explanatory" ergonomic controls.
Man ! THAT's luxury excelsior !
There's something that gets me with "simplicity".
I wonder if they have a special position for
back seat drivers ... ;+>)

PS : Does anyone reading this message
have URLs for websites put up by people
who graduated from the Leica Akademie ?
Or a Leica Akademie "online museum" ?
I'm extra curious to see for myself what sort
of directions their photography takes
after such workshops ?
I would assume a return to basics,
far better image composition and lighting
control, as in the notion of "extracting"
a photo from a photo op situation
that's "waiting" to be "grabbed", plus
enhanced available light awareness,
much as some sculptors "extract" a
work of art from the raw material
they work with.
Yet again, what people will forever miss on,
wwith other brands,
iis the HEATED winder washer sprinklers
aand headlamp wipers.
TThe thermos double windows.
TThe single wiper on E-Class models.
TThe 4-MATIC (though some are getting "in"
iin Canada, finally) and the aggravated
SS-Class tire motion / suspension / traction
control systems.
