    Do you think anyone who would wear white gloves while changing their tire would actually know how to change their tire?

    A fifth wheel (full size or donut) is always a better, safer and cheaper alternative than run-flat tires anywhere anytime.

    I see this car as a spoiled little brat like Alicia Silverstone's character on Clueless. "Oh, as if!!" :)

    Actually, you spend $180,000 for the white gloves and get a rapidly depreciating, expensive to maintain vehicle in the process. What a deal!

    Doesn't this come with many Euro vehicles? Since it's mandated, you typically get a cone and a vest if you buy a car in Germany.

    Hate to be a nag, but those $100 trunk struts you need are going to ruin your $400 trunk-latch-actuator, which will cause a "run to timeout" of the PSE pump every time you lock/unlock the doors. A couple weeks of pump timeouts will burn up the $700 pump and leave you with no central locking, no rear headrests and a picky alarm. Then you'll blame the car, when you only needed $100 trunk struts...
