Apparently after releasing the latch you have to spring up and out of the trunk, setting a record for the longest jump out of a moving vehicle, then sprint away as fast as you possibly can before the driver notices.

Mike, did it seem like the trunk was big enough for a couple of people? Maybe they were thinking of the drive-in movie crowd having an escape hatch if they were stuck in a long entry line. If that car was built in Oakville, we do have a nice Drive-In right on Ninth Line about 2km from the Ford Plant.

I suppose this trunk could fit two people if they were midgets.

And yes, the Five Drive-In is right there. Still, I think it's more of a mob protection feature.

Funny, my Dad was just showing me this last week on his Impala and I found it pretty damn funny. Especially the image!

are we so stupid / clumsy as a people that its a major consideration when purchasing a car that you actually ask the sales person "hey.. umm.. is there an emergency release to get outta the trunk from the -inside- ?"

"ummm.. no ?"

"AHHHHGgGG no deal"

lol.

..or are the car companies sooo worried about mob activity that -this- is there way of fighting back / preventing crime ?
