Ford's keyless start (available in the MKS and 2010 Taurus) is the most advanced of any system because it's also tied in to the disappearing keypad in the B pillar. Not only does it automatically unlock the doors when they're touched, the system DOES allow you to lock the fob in the car with the keypad - but it disables the fob at the same time so a thief can't break the window and drive off. When you use the keypad to unlock the car it reactivates the fob. Now that's a handy feature.

I remember starter buttons on cars built before WW2, and some even into the 1950s--with doors that didn't lock. The KEY was a terrific advance.
 
Thirty years into the future, someone will invent the KEY all over again, and it will be hailed as the greatest advance since the electric starter.

You obviously don't live in the NorthEast.
 
Uh, no...but we do have cold weather from time-to-time here in Wisconsin.

With forecast lows this week as low as 8 degrees as far south as Birmingham, AL... I'm beginning to be glad I don't live any further north!!

I know it's technically a large sedan, but, this car is sweeet!! Great job Ford! Interior is identical to the MKS, but, who cares! Exterior styling is great too. I give it an A.

Yeah...we are projected to be -3 on Wednesday without the wind. It will feel like -20 with the wind chill. I'm gonna burn all my gas just trying to warm up my car in the morning!! Not looking forward to it...

Wimps! Forecast low for the Twin Cities Wed/Thurs without the wind chill is -20 F.
 
P.S. A car warms up faster while driving. There was an invention within the recent past (speaking of technology like keyless start) that helps drivers who need to drive a cold car on days like this. It's called Coat, Hat, Gloves. Works very well!

I can take it. I just don't like it!! If my wife was not big into snow sports (skiing/snow boarding) and all my family were not up here, I would be looking to migrate my flock down south.
