Spanish translation: autocomplaciente

Advertising / Public Relations
English term or phrase: self-indulgent
"Is it the most self-indulgent car ever built, or the least? What happens when you add hybrid technology to one of the country's best loved vehicles? You get performance and fuel efficiency in a very sylish and dependable package"
I'm not sure what the best translation would be for self-indulgent in this context (the presentation of a new car).

el que más lo consiente


Explanation:
o el que más lo malcría/ o incluso complaciente, pero no autocomplaciente, por el juego de palabras (es un auto) y porque el foco está en la persona que lo usa y no en el auto
