Collectible Classic: 1991-1997 BMW 850i
1991-1997 BMW 850i - Collectible Classic BMW Car - Automobile Magazine
The 850i was a technological showcase, boasting cutting-edge luxury features such as remote keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, a power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a twelve-speaker stereo, and windows that automatically closed at high speeds.

The 1991 BMW 850i was blasted by the automotive media and ardent Bimmer-philes as an enormous letdown - a passionless cruiser from the self-proclaimed makers of the Ultimate Driving Machine. The complaints were numerous, and many were valid. But the 8-series' mission wasn't to tear up back roads, it was to grab attention on the boulevard - and nearly two decades later, it still turns heads.

2009 Mercedes Benz G550 - Mercedes Benz Luxury SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The G550 is definitely unlike any other passenger vehicle on the road.

This is, by far, the coolest vehicle I've ever driven. On the outside it doesn't look very special, but inside it's very modern and luxurious. The V-8 provides tons of power, and it sounds awesome.
