Only front pockets and coat pockets. Keys and wallet stay in there.

Even then. Just a touch too old school for me.
Plus I don't know why manufacturers feel compelled to create keys the size of cell phones (and in case of BMW's huge Display key where the battery only lasts as long as a phone and needs to be charged like it).
At least the ancient metal keys used to be flat and small...

My Murano has a dummy key holder right below the push to start button. I rarely use it the few times that I drive it since it is my wifes DD. She rarely uses it either.

idea of a keyless go car is to avoid digging in you pocket and dropping your keys and damaging it especially when its raining or worse drop it in a puddle.
also with my old cars, a few times ive dropped the key when im about to stick it in the the ignition and too dark to see where i dropped it only to find it almost under the seat after i turn the lights on and open my door. so now all my cars have keyless go and life couldnt be easier.
now...
1) whats the point of having a nice key if you dont even take it out of your pocket?
2) that new key looks "plasticky" from that photo btw. looks like a toy you get for free from a cereal box.
im sure it looks better in person but still goes back to my #1 point...

Personally, I love the Keyless Go. I couldn't care less what the key looks like, and would prefer to have an option for a wallet card, or phone-based key. I hate getting in my wife's car and going 'oh, right, insert key'. Tapping the button, dropping the lever to D and rolling away is fantastic. Stopping the car is even more so. Come to a stop. Push the brake a little harder, push the button on the dash, open the door, tap the handle, walk away.

It looks like Volvo stole my idea of using smart phone as FOB.

I thought that at first too, but it's an automatic transmission. Seems like a waste of center console space to mount a shifter there. Wipers are auto rain sensing, so why have a separate stalk for that? Especially since many vehicles have the wiper settings on the turn signal stalk.

I hate BMW center console shifter. Each time I switch wipers on instead of putting it in a park. I do not understand why car makers do such controls design preventing drivers easily switch for one car to other. Never own both BMW and MB, it will bring you in chaos.
