Perhaps some people don't like side direction repeater lights, rear red fog lights, rear amber directional signals and safety power window switches, after all it takes all kinds; but Europe has had these safety features for years and we still leave it up to the discretion of the builder to include them or not. And remember the builders wanted a cheaper alternative to the low tire pressure alarm system mandated finally in the states. The Federal District Court just threw out that option because data showed it does not work. The feds knew this but continued the tradition of giving Detroit whatever it wants.
