Mercedes-Benz R500: Magic Carpets

We've had a few high-end vehicles in our fleet over the years, but I can't remember any whose floor mats offered the level of luxury seen in those of the R500.

We've had the Mercedes for a few months now, and its mats have beat off dirt and scuff marks like a hero crushing bad guys in a Hong Kong action flick. This photo doesn't really do them justice.

And they remain fixed in place with such relentless tenacity that I had to check and make sure they aren't being held by Velcro (they aren't)...
They're heavy and plush, too.

If you've got any sort of floor mat fetish whatsoever, the R500 is the ride for you.
