Maybe I can rig a mechanical connection with some levers and pulleys between the shift knob and the door lock button.
Back to observations:
I don't really like the dimples in the trunk. Yes, they follow the contour of the brake lights. So then don't contour the brake lights. The first 2 times I headed for the car after work, I thought it had been hit by a truck. (Again, not really a gripe. Lots of people have commented to me positively on the Eurasian styling.)
Why does the interior light "fade" on? (It comes on slowly, I mean.) I leave the car unlocked in the garage. If I go to get something out of the back seat, I have to wait a couple of seconds after I open the door before the light comes on enough to see anything. Fading is cool but in this case detracts from the user experience.
