OK, I drive old 1980s cars. Why in the world would you want the window to drop a couple of inches? Does it make it easier to open the door or something? I can't imagine any difference on my 911 with a full frame around the window, except if both the driver and passenger are closing the door at the exacts same instant.

The El Camino has no frame around the glass and it would be really pointless. Of course the El Camino has manual wind up cranks for the windows.

So what is the deal, why would that be a "feature" anyone wants?

I understand ABS, OBD2, traction control, backup cameras, lane departure, tire pressure monitors and the endless list of gizmos modern cars have, that I don't have at all, but a window that drops a couple of inches makes little sense to a caveman guy that the newest car he drives regularly is a 1986.

My wife's Macan has lots of bell and whistles, but the windows don't drop unless you use the button.
