That's what I thought the first time a guy brought one of those newer vette's into my shop to show it off. Why the hell do we need electric door openers, you still have to push a button. ::) Give me good old fashioned direct connect mechanical. ;D

He has had two C6's (2011-13) and was unaware of the electric opp't inside door handels and did not know of the emergency manual cable pull. He couldn't understand why it didn't have a manually operated inside handels. At least maybe some will learn of this from the attention it has received.
