Huh?
To me, a "driver's car" is one that DOESN'T have a bunch of electronic stabilization crap in it. Maybe it's just me, but doesn't this seem inherently silly as an ad campaign position? How is a luxury sedan with a bunch of silly computerized stuff in it a "driver's car"?

The experts are saying electronic stability control will save more lives than airbags when it becomes standard equipment on all US autos. ESC appeals to me for 90+% of my driving.
For the "ultimate driving machine" you have to flip the switch to OFF....
