Beyond using fine cabin materials and featuring sublime styling, luxury cars ease the lives of their owners by taking care of the small details. A luxury car should turn on its own headlights when it's dark, unlock its doors when its owner approaches, and remember the preferred seating position for its owner. These cars feature excellent navigation systems and stereos that produce heavenly sounds. With voice command systems, most of these cars listen when you speak to them.
2009 Aston Martin DB9 Volante
If you want and can afford an Aston Martin DB9, you will probably get one, no matter what anyone else says. But it's nice to know that the cabin electronics are modern enough for cell phones and iPods.

2009 BMW 750Li
The 2009 BMW 750Li delivers impressive tech features on all fronts, helping justify its high price. It offers the best cabin tech package among its competitors.

2009 Lincoln MKS
The 2009 Lincoln MKS is a star when it comes to in-cabin entertainment and information sources, especially at its price. But you will have to be content with a comfortable, rather than sporty, ride.

2009 Mercedes-Benz S550
If you can pay for the gas, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 has many features to recommend it, and offers an incredibly comfortable ride, but don't expect it to play well with your personal electronics.

2009 Jaguar XF
The 2009 Jaguar XF offers a lot of luxury for the money, with many unique high-tech touches and an exceptional audio system. But it doesn't always deliver on its apparent promise, with a run-of-the-mill suspension and navigation system.

2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6
The 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 is an excellent car for cruising around and listening to music, but it doesn't offer all the latest cabin tech, and some of its veneer of luxury wears thin when exposed to close scrutiny.

2008 Audi A8 L W12
The big 2008 Audi A8 L W12 combines high luxury and surprisingly sporty performance. Its tech credentials are anchored by a stellar Bang & Olufsen audio system, and include some innovative driving tech. While quite nice to drive, a chauffeur makes a fine accessory.
