What is so bad about a regular mechanic latch? Was it really so bad or inconvenient? Not sure how it improved anything.

Normal grievousness.
That is a good one. What I sticks in my mind happened perhaps a year back.
( Mind now, thanks to modern medicine some of the drawers of my 'file cabinet' memory are stuck. )

Anyway a person of note, sports personality, gets out of his non Ford, after using the remote gear selector to put it in park. As he walks around the car he is run over. The L tronic module thingy failed, causing his demise.

The best question I've heard though, was from a youngster while watching me add some water to my 'T'. " One question mister, Where do you get a car like that? " I smiled and directed him to ask for a Hemmings Motor News.
