Most gadgety car?

Audi A8, solar sun roof runs fans to keep car cool in summer? BMW 750, heated steering wheel? What is your vote for US spec car with most gadgets from the factory, aftermarket doesn't count.

I'm thinking along similar lines, but my vote would go to the Mercedes-Benz S600. I can't remember all of the gadgets, but the one that sticks out in my head is the "smart cruise control":

The car measures the speed and distance of the car ahead of you, and instead of maintaining a certain speed, it maintains a certain distance. And supposedly it does it very smoothly; no herky-jerky throttle.

It has to be the new BMW 7-series. Beats everything else for now and I'm not being subjective. One feature that all the others do not have...a 6-speed auto! It also includes hydraulic rear suspension, i-drive (a simple dial that can be used to control many features), fuel efficient V8 engines and lots more.

Still waiting to see Audi's new cvt auto trans. They took out a couple of hundred new patents. First continuous gear transmission to take over 200 hp. Should be a real boost (pun intended) to their turbo cars since there is no drop in turbo boost due to gear shifts.
