LOL. I've often wondered why GM cars do that! Everytime I travel and have to get a rental, it irritates the crap out of me. I always figured it's because I don't know how to make it work properly. Ah well. I hope Americans don't lash out at Toyota because of their success, because I really want GM to go out of business. Americans will get more out of Toyota opening up plants in the U.S. anyway.

>Exactly, they seem to want to set trends rather than give their customers what they want. A classic example is keeping headlights on whenever the car is in operation. I can't tell you how many complaints I have heard people make about that feature......most think GM did it to sell more Delco batteries. Daytime running lights... I think there's a safety-related reason for that. I personally like the feature a lot, because I always used to leave my lights on, and that's not an issue anymore. -Z
