This seems like a bit of a screwup. Why don't they rotate with the wheel?
Was this designed by the same team that gave Benz its 90 degree V-6 engine? They do some things that just don't seem very cool. Benz makes some great stuff but I don't automatically rely on their judgment any more.

If you pay the good folks at Benz a
lot more money still, you can get a more family-sized version in the S class. I like large better than small. It's just more comfortable and relaxing to me.

But do either of them have the feature that slides the driver's seat back automagically when you turn off the key?
I think the SRT8 fits my needs better, independently of price. It would sure be fun to test drive the E63, but to me size matters especially because it's our backup family hauler as well as my general preference for a roomy interior. Note that 2 seaters often have a roomy interior, as far as the driver and passenger are concerned, and I like them too!
