The "new hotness".
The 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500 (W211), nicknamed 'the new hotness', was Agent J's car in 2002. It replaces the Ford LTD from the previous film. It came with accessories including a fake driver which retracts into the steering wheel, a computer and a flying car mode with the push of a red button (which is controlled through a PlayStation joypad similar to the DualShock — like Columbia Pictures, the PlayStation is owned by Sony).
Agent J has been using this car as his primary mode of transportation during the first half of Men in Black II. When Agent K returns, he takes over as the driver, until he was forced to let J take over during their final chase due to being unable to operate the vehicle in flight mode.
This car was used in this movie before it went on sale for the 2003 Model year.

Trivia[]
- According to J, the Mercedes' fake driver was originally modeled after an African American, but this was changed to a Caucasian due to getting constantly pulled over by cops. (This may have been a joke however, but it's actually not)
- The fake driver cannot control the car in flight mode due to the autopilot not being implemented
- In flight mode this vehicle implements a ventral automated neuralyzer, for the purpose of erasing the memory of a flying car in witnesses.
