but to my mind, the salient virtue of the jaguar is that the controls are all intutitive. one doesn't need the manual to figure out how to manage the car.

I read/hear this comment about newer autos all the time. While not a big fan of non-classic MBs (yes, i've driven them), I must disagree with this common complaint.
When someone gets in my 126 car, they never know how to work a single control, especially the windows, seat controls. Climate control as well. Myself, I can operate everything blindfolded.
The point is, if you OWN the car, you learn the controls very easily, no matter how ackward you may think they are in the beginning.
Newer cars may have a different learning curve, but I am confident that if I bought even an i-drive car, I would have it down after a couple of weeks.
