TO THE POINT What's New? The newest upgrades to the Bentley Arnage are round headlights, a revised bonnet line, and a choice of grilles. Inside, ergonomics have been improved, secondary controls are now hidden under panels, new instruments and a DVD satellite navigation system have been added, and Bentley will dress the car in your choice of 40 colors and 27 leather options.
Selling Points: Exclusivity and myriad ways to customize it to specific tastes
Deal Breakers: Price of entry is excessively high, lacks the latest technologies and luxuries

2007 Mercedes-Benz S550

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a large car, but it offers terrific outward visibility and a surprisingly svelte turning radius to make maneuvering in tight quarters relatively simple. The side mirrors could stand to be larger for better visibility in blind spots and for lane changes, and the rear roof pillars are predictably thick, but otherwise there are no problems with visibility. The three-pointed star hood ornament helps the driver judge the front end, the folding rear headrests don’t block the view of traffic, the optional reversing camera shows what’s behind the car and the trajectory of the wheels, and an available park assist system helps to keep the bumpers in like-new condition.
