Uh, they stick an ozonator (ozone) in the car at the end of the factory run. Used car dealers frequently use them. Due to the fact the Ozone will bind to almost anything volatile, the air is effectively sterilised and gives it that "new car smell". tl;dr: you're a douche; your internet access should probably be revoked

Ozone is a well known cancerigen. Maybe they shouldn't do that anymore ?

>>It's a nice car, but far from one of the finest cars in the world. I'm not trolling and this is a sincere question. Which car would you consider among the finest in the world? Edit: Thanks for the replies.

There are certainly cars that go above this one, but once you cross the $100k threshold, you're basically in the "I don't care what it costs" territory. (Personal dream cars that cost more than this): Ascari A10 Koenigsegg CCX Ariel Atom V8

The thing that's fascinating about people with that much money is that they have a lot of freedom to express themselves within their lifestyle. Cars are a very particular expression of that. So Larry Ellison has a custom all-aluminum roadster, Steve had his German sedans, and ESRI's Jack Dangermond is noted for driving a Taurus wagon. But just having a Mercedes AMG isn't the same as leasing a new one every six months…

Don't overly idolize the concept. The SL55 is, relatively-speaking, a fairly modest car (brand new, the SL55 was a bit over $100k vs. the SL65, which looked the same but had a bigger motor and was almost _double_ the price). Among car nerds, Jobs' choice of the 55 model showed a lot of restraint. It's a nice car, but far from one of the finest cars in the world. And lastly, I'd bet that he didn't actually get a brand…

>The SL55 is, relatively-speaking, a fairly modest car [..] a bit over $100k Are you out of your fucking mind? $100,000 is a fairly modest car? That's as much as a lot of us make in two years .
