Try a new feature on my 2005 Ford 500.  A great step backward.

Has the inside trunk release _and no key unlock_ at the trunk.

The inside release won't work and you have to push down on the trunk
lid (releases lock pressure) before the keyless thing will work.  And
that is AFTER I took it back to the dealer twice.

I suppose it could be argued that not having a key hole in the trunk
lid is an antitheft measure but I consider it a very weak point.
