Car: Mercedes-Benz S 550 Coupe
Feature: AIR BALANCE with active aromatherapy
Why: We’re back on this machine, again. Here’s another bit of over-the-top: load a glass dish full of scented liquid, available in several olfactory themes from your dealer, into a receptacle in the glovebox. Then go into the climate-control menu to set the air freshener setting you like, and forget it. After telling the system when and how much of the scent you care for, it occasionally wafts luxurious little puffs through the climate control vents, ensuring the cabin of the S 550 always smells like the lobby of a Shangri-La Hotel. Here’s that luxury lifestyle cross-branding again, this time, right down to the way the S 550 Coupe smells.
