9.) Toyota Century's cassette deck

I kid you not. You can buy a car in 2014 with a lazy but reliable V12, a cassette deck and lace curtains. Check out the rest of the Century's features here!

It's very fancy indeed, but what happens when you have to tow your Jaaaaaag?

5.) Bentley's infotainment pack

How much for a set of iPads, keyboards, two in-headset screens plus a 12-inch drop down screen? $32,000 US dollars, if you're buying them with a Mulsanne.

4.) Aston Martin and Audi's Bang & Olufsen pop-up tweeters

Oh, sure they sound great. They also add complexity and weight.

3.) Mercedes-Benz's granite trim

Wood? Carbon fiber? Leather? No. You need a car lined with stone. Because there's enough torque to take care of anything.

Also, crystals. Deal with it.

2.) Porsche's leather vents

Yes, they will wrap your A/C vents and paddle shifters in matching colors. That's why VW makes so much money. It's you!

1.) Rolls-Royce's 'Starlight' headliner

It's ridiculous, but we love it. And the best thing is that it's also available in the Opel Adam.
