Did you also notice the ventilated seat button? Nice feature for a summer car.

I personally will miss the mechanical brake lever, not sure why, especially since my C5 parking brake is the most useless brake in existence. Have never had a brake so unable to engage and prevent rolling on even the most minor of slopes. True crap. Wife's Jag has an electric brake, works well but since it auto engages on power off, you can get some drift once you let off the brake and go to turn it off...
