Me too!
...............I agree, a conventional recessed handle would have been better than that crappy "knucle slot"!

Electric Doors
Love my car. Haven't had one problem with it in over the year I've had it but don't you think the C5 door handles would have looked better than the big hole in the rear fender to access the electric doors? They work fine but that hole bothers me some. I sort of think standard door handles and a keyed ignition would have been the way to go. Great car though.

The holes make it more aerodynamical.

I think most first timers are a little reluctant to stick their fingers inside the hole in fear getting their fingers smashed. That's what I thought the first few times.

I love it because it is different and it also looks great. And the keyless ignition is one of my favorite options, besides the HUD, the exposed headlights, the 400 hp, 400 toruque, etc...etc..etc..
