FWIW -
I attended a drive event put on by Porsche recently when the topic of brakes
came up after sampling their entire product lineup. One of the driving
instructors in attendance stated that one of the reasons for the great
brakes on their product line was a corporate requirement that the brakes
must be able to stop the vehicle from 80% of its maximum speed - and do that
25 times in rapid succession.
BTW their PDK 'auto' transmission - a seven speed dual clutch unit - has
just about made me turn my back on conventional manual transmissions - it
just too damm good! It needs to be experienced to be appreciated.

Sweet looking Mercedes!
Yes, I will certainly enjoy HER car, as she could care less. In all
seriousness, I had to get her something as the old Saturn's brakes
just were not up to snuff. I was so afraid she would get herself into
a situation that she couldn't stop. I didn't notice that much until I
bought a new Elantra last year. The brakes are really good, but what I
have learned is that almost all the new cars with 4 wheel disc's have
very good brakes. The better fuel economy is a big help as well!
