Well... I'll freely admit to being an old fart / dinosaur / whatever but I just don't get it. The purpose of a car is to transport people and objects from one place to another - how does all this added stuff further that goal?
Now of course people also want the trip to be enjoyable and as stress-free as possible, and that's where the goodies can help - maybe. Cellphone built into the car? Yeah, having the boss be able to call me when I'm driving home from work is definitely gonna reduce my stress level - not! A good stereo? Okay maybe I'll buy into that idea. :^)
When I got my '86 Audi, I joked to my wife that I was going to have to learn how to get into the car by inserting a "key" into a "lock" and then rotating it to enable opening the door. Miraculously, I've discovered it's not all that hard... ;^)
