Yes, some very smart, practical Swedish thinking pops up now and then.
Missing, at times, from newer Saabs (we have an '07 9-3 and an '08 9-5) and many German cars (my 330 BMW and E350 Mercedes) ... although the Mercedes does have some thoughtful touches. I've twice had my keyless entry refuse to shut the trunk, as my laptop bag still had the car key fob in it after returning from a series of flights. The trunk began to close, then bounced back open. Took me a minute to understand what was happening.
Nowhere near on the otherwise nice 02 Acura I was fixing for my sister last spring when, during vacuuming at a car wash, I inadvertently touched the driver's door locks button, with it wide open, thus locking me out when I closed it to clean the other side. Darn Japanese!
