Meaning, simplify the automobile. I'll have more to say on this thread.
I drive a 12 year old benz e-class. The car is getting a bit tired, so I took a 2006 e class wagon out for a spin. Biggest disapointment for me is that it is overladen with complex, intrusive technology. Sure, they are cool gizmos now, but what about when the car is 10-15 years old and the technology is obsolete? The S class is even worse, and I'd think with the S class there'd be a significant portion of buyers who would intend to buy it and own it for the rest of their lives. Wouldn't it make sense to offer a lower-tech, pared down version?
