I think they were a little grasping at staws here; ones I don't think are ridiculous:

- Airscarf: I like fresh air + I hate being cold = airscarf is brilliant!

- Comfort Access: On VWs you do it with the key in the door, so why is it so decadent to have it on the fob?

- Exec pkg: If you have a driver, why not? I think lots is lost on the back seat and if you're going to be back there it may as well be a good time

Now, I don't think the rest are ridiculous either, I just think those three shouldnt even to be on that list.

The list is just more useless crap, thanks to whoever wrote it (and no fault of the poster I might add, I'm not trying to be offensive).

What's decadent is the brand new Aston Martin that passed me on the freeway this afternoon cruising at 85mph, sounded great. Who cares if it had a power whoopie cushion. The car was hot.

Umm interesting but I don't think Comfort Access and Airscarf should be up there. The rest seem exclusive enough.

I agree--Comfort Access? Decadent? Only if it's 1975.

got a chuckle out of the Rolls ceiling lights option...

this dramatic—and pointless—option’s box would be the first one we’d tick.

The 8th Accord has a comfort open on the key itself now. Opens the windows and sunroof, but not close them.

Let's see...

I want a car that looks as good as the Aston Martin with the Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX2 DBS Transponder Watch, rides as comfortable as the Lexus with the Lexus Executive Package and handles as well as the Porsche with the Porsche Customized Leather List...

Is that asking too much?

I think by comfort access they're referring to the combo of windows up/down as well as the push button start.

the lexus Smart Key has windows down (and would probably have windows up if not for the Toyota legal dept). A freakin Nissan Sentra is available with Intelligent Key--there is nothing "decadent" about this feature.
