How about a back massage during your commute? The massaging lumbar seat system in Cadillac's $46,267 (street) DeVille DHS soothes back muscles at 10-minute intervals. And for tired eyes after a hard day, the car helps you see without sunlight using an infrared display projected onto the windshield.
More DeVille benefits and high-tech goodies for entrepreneurs on the move:
Ultrasonic rear parking sensors that warn of obstacles to
parking.
The quieter-than-ever Northstar V8's powerful
275-horsepower engine.
Web-based information/entertainment/navigation systems with
online and offline audio, CD-ROM, radio and map-reading
functions.
Individual tire pressure data is relayed to the dashboard
letting the driver know instantly if a tire is losing air.
21 storage areas for files and office doodads.
