Are all newer foreign cars doing this?
Like Jim said, the Driver Recognition stuff still has the normal key as a fall back.
And I felt the same way when I saw the commercial... "How freakin' lazy do you have to be...."
I personally never use my door key. Partly cuz I love the gadget factor, partially because I know I can never lock my keys in the car if I use the fob all the time....

) Don't Most SSE Bonnevilles even as low as 92 unlock all the doors if you hold the key in the unlocked position for more than a second? (on either door.) I know our 95 SSE had it, and my Riv has it, and both of our 00'*.

I think that new technology is pretty clever and innovative. I like gadgets and electronic toys. When I bought the GTP, I finally got keyless entry. I never use my keys to open doors anymore. I love new technology.

Kyle is correct. I rely on technology on a daily basis, and without it, I would be screwed in quite a few areas. But, I would not want to have all this keyless BS, and then when it breaks [and it will], you are locked out of your car, and no way of getting back in. Let'* say this happens, and you lock your 6mo old in the car? Or your dog? What happens then? If it is true that it will still have a key, and can be used as a backup, then that may be a different story, but until I see that, I wouldn't use it. The furthest I will go, is a highend alarm, with keyless entry [duh]. Keyless entry has been around for so long [my car has it], it'* pretty much tried and true at this point. There isn't much to go wrong with your basic fob.. maybe with an advanced fob, but even then... not a lot of **** to mess up.

I'm not gonna get too deep in to the whole philosophy of technology. I just think it'* great what these car companies can come up with these days. It really shows what we as a society can accomplish and innovate. Change is inevitable, and it happens all the time. We shouldn't look back at the timeline and keep things the way they are. If so, we'd still have flathead V8'* that put out 50HP in our cars with no seatbelts.
