I don't notice that I can any special treatment in my 550 but, then again, New York does not have a big car culture and there are a million much fancier cars pulling into garages in Manhattan than a 550.
I do notice folks in their teens and twenties looking at the car from their car when I am stopped at a light.

It could be the lights. I didn't think upgrading my lights would make a huge difference, but it has raised the "WOW" factor for me. Glad I did it. There's also a lot of HIGH END cars down in Miami, Fort Lauderdale area. BMW and Benz almost seem like the common car. Hey, I'm glad I was able to rub shoulders with the Phantom - lol. Even if my car was a smaller next to it in every way.
