That was the general consensus on our rental minivan in Calgary. Keyless ignition (which was quite nice once I had it figured out, but I would've gotten us out of the airport much quicker if I'd simply had a dang key), automatic shutoff at red lights, automatic sliding doors, a knob on the dash for gear changes instead of a stick (that took a while to get used to), a monitor on the dash that showed what was going on behind me whenever I was in reverse (I still prefer actually turning my head and seeing for myself, though it was nice to see how close I was getting to other vehicles getting out of parking spots), and on and on.

It was kinda nice to drive home from the Penticton airport in our regular, boring old minivan. Though Max has decided he prefers the 'Calgary van'.
