    Any car with rolling, vibrating seat massagers. Seriously, they're dangerous. My wife and I sat in an A8L that had them, and thought, why? Right before I started to yawn.

    1985 Dodge Caravan. Back and forth to Grandma's house we went, snoozing away. Bonus when you woke up... your face was stuck to the vinyl seats.

    @GreenN_Gold: That's a heart click for you. The only way it could have been better was a NASCAR version of the Camry. Couldn't find a picture of Kyle Busch's ride?

    @Pibbs: You're so right, I dropped the ball on the Camry element. I only picked Jimmie because it seemed topical right now. And while I'm not a fan of Kyle, he certainly doesn't bore me.

    I really dislike riding in my brother's 07 F150. It's huge, numb, and dark inside. I've driven an 05, as well, and they are just dishwater dull, yet dangerous thanks to their bulk and poor sight lines.

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: Totally feel you.

    My dad has an '04 F150. It rides much more nicely than his '97 did, but somewhere in there it lost all feeling of control. It doesn't put me to sleep, but that's probably just because if I stopped paying attention it'd probably drift over into another car without my noticing.

    This one looks like it would be a good nap-mobile.

    Anything made by Toyota would be the car that inspires sleep quickest. the designs are so boring there isn't one design feature that makes me think they weren't designed by a panel of old ladies after watching a few hours of Matlock.

    I do imagine it would be and exception for the Tundra once your rear axle rusts off at 75mph it would be hard to snooze.

    A nice warm mug of cocoa.
    A bath, with salts and and Strauss on the wireless.
    A big, cosy woollen pullover.
    A hug from your mother after a long absence.
    A gentle summer breeze, reading the paper while sitting on the verandah.

    All are more exciting than the last generation E-Class, a car almost nuclear in its yawn-promoting capabilities.

    Just about any midsize or larger luxury vehicle these days. The NVH wars are over. Narcolepsy reigns supreme!

    Whenever I drive my MIL's E-class, I have to crack the driver's window for some feedback.

    There are some cars that bore me, but none that actually put me to sleep. It would have to be an actual bed to put me to sleep. I like this bed.

    Usually whatever the best seller is at any given point and time. Whatever way the herd goes is not where I wish to be. And that's pretty much true of everything other than cars too. Not really a "bandwagon" guy.

    A rented Toyota Fortuner, I'd wake up at 5 30-ish everyday, get in that car, and sleep for the hour it takes to get to school.

    And before that, a Camry, which was quieter and more comfortable, but lacks the all important near-flat rear seats.

    Ahh, the good old times...
