  There's that '64 Riviera centre stack again

  So how does the pedal pivot all the way up under the dash? That's bad news.

  So as professional car testers you get to grab the keys to cars w/o first being familiarized with their basic functionality?
  
  I would not call you an idiot. Edmunds' contributors should be given a briefing from the car pool manager before being allowed to check out a car.

  Old school works. Personally, I detest electronic parking brakes.

  Old school technology? It's really just the user interface you're quibbling about — and the foot-operated parking brake is the most common, I'd expect, even in 2016. It was absolutely intuitive to me when I got my Mirai. And it's right where your foot expects it to be. I'm going with operator idiocy on this one, sorry.
