The GM auto flick **** is the most annoying thing ever when I'm working on a car since I usually want the lights off and not having to constantly flick them off when I'm keying on/off would be great lol!
Well blame the multitude of morons who have no clue they are driving around without headlights on for that. Least common denominator wins out....
When you lock the car with the remote, you hear 4 separate things lock... doors, trunk, fuel filler, and console, and it all sounds like a safe opening or locking. It's crazily over-engineered in that case but it's a good thing and I love it.
I got into that W222, the door locks were really cheap compared to the old pneumatic ones.
The electronic door locks are way more reliable than those pneumatic locks though, when those go wrong they are very expensive to fix.

sounds like you're saying the pneumatic ones are "more mercedes" then!
remember these from the late 60s/70s?
everything on the 600 that would normally be electric (windows, seat adjustment, etc...) was actually hydraulic and OMG the cost of repairs! a single 4 position drivers door window switch was $11,000... 11 grand!!! and that was the price 14 years ago who knows what it'd be now

Oh yeah! Crazy.

hell that car even had a power rear view mirror adjustment! and i mean the central interior mirror, not just the 2 exterior side mirrors
Only on early models. They did away with the power rear view mirror because it broke so easily.
i'm just guessing here but maybe it being a convertible has something to do with it? did any W140 come with auto up windows?
That's an interesting point...but auto-up windows can still cause injury in convertibles if the top is up, particularly if it is a hardtop-convertible.
As to whether W140s had auto-up windows or not, I don't know.....maybe someone else can chime in.

I can't really think of anything with the GS or Highlander. On the Tundra, though, the gas tank door drives me nuts. It doesn't lock or latch. It's just spring loaded closed, but the spring is very loose and hardly does much. So the car wash fans or even a windy day in the parking lot can open it right up. So as I exit the car wash, I have to pull around the corner, hop out, and close it. Every. Single. Time.
This is a well known complaint on the Tundra forums. The only suggestion is to replace the spring, which I did, but it's the same OEM spring so the same issue persists.
