I'm blown away you think "[women] give me their number" is like... something we ought to know about using the home grown Merc infotainment system? Like that's a feature I look for in my vehicle onboard computer, a "propensity for women to want to date me while I order fast food" metric. So many questions. So many.

If it works consistently, it would sure be a major selling point. ;)

  Wouldn't someone giving you their number based on the car you drive be a giant red flag?

    People who drive those cars don't think it is.

    Not with a Mercedes.

      Right? Like Alan Harper said: never happened with a Volvo!

    People driving a "coup" are also a red flag. So I guess it's red-flagged people meeting one another.

The infotainment and lighting + other controls really sells it… I more meant that even from a style standpoint, I never had that happen when I drove a Honda. There’s also features like making the engine “purr” which works really well on dates. There’s just a lot of integrated features they can control, to the point that not only is it useable and I like it better than CarPlay. It also has tangible benefits and genuinely helps me score. With features that wouldn’t be possible with a CarPlay based os and not having everything super integrated.

    It has a few things like this. https://youtu.be/mG3Uo0a8k5Q https://youtu.be/mG3Uo0a8k5Q . It basically opens up the valves/exhaust a bit more for more noise. It's 100 % from the engine and not from speakers.

      Okay. Good, so it’s mechanical. I was ready to sacrifice my arm so good to learn about this beforehand :)
