I'm more often befuddled than bedazzled by technology.
The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is an exception. This car offers so many neat, useful -- OK, I'll say it, amazing -- gadgets that I'm still abuzz two weeks after handing back the keys.
And, miraculously, these tech bits don't overshadow the fine automobile that contains them.
The 2007 S550 is certainly one of the best cars around, and it's certainly one of the most expensive. Our test model, with its Capri blue paint and gray leather interior, had a base price of $85,400. Throw in the destination charge, the gas-guzzler tax (city mileage is a pitiful 16 mpg) and nearly $20,000 worth of options and you get a $105,045 car that redefines fully loaded.
