A very nice article about how cars are getting too complicated and technologically advanced these days. I couldn't agree more.

I paticularly like the story of the soda cans exploding in a Dodge's refrigerated glove box :grin:

@ the paragraph about the power doors ...

For me, I have found the power liftgate on the Expy comes in handy sometimes (the old one didn’t have that feature) but it will bump you in the head if you don’t get out of the way in time when it closes.

Well, it's easier to advertise all these features then to talk about quality (since every car claims to be anyway). One of those almost got me (and I don't even like airbags); I thought the air conditioned glovebox was a really neat idea. It took me a minute to realize that I'd never use it (ever).
