Can You Name The LAMEST Gee-Whiz Option EVER On A Vehicle Over The Past 10 Years?

As we know technology is becoming critical in today's vehicles, it's important to distinguish the good, the bad and the ugly. We want the manufacturers to continue being creative and delivering best-in-breed features; however, we also want them to stop simply including technology for tech's sake in the latest and greatest autos.

There's just some things being offered on the market today that are downright ridiculous. It's almost as though the product teams weren't even thinking.

They just said "Yeah, throw it in," and the end result is rather...gimmicky.

Having said that, we've got to ask: What's the LAMEST gee-whiz option EVER that you've come across over the past 10 years in a vehicle? I can name a couple that are top of mind but I'll wait until you start get rolling, Spies.

Keyless entry is the best gee wiz addition and the McDonald's Big Mac attack emergency locator button on my Range Rover GPS is the most lame.

The fad caused by BMW's "angel eyes" and the utterly ridiculous plethora of LED DRLs. The ones that look like big Christmas bulbs are the ugliest.

Doing away with names and giving cars letters for "brand identity."

The worst idea ever is that annoying eco start/stop fuel saver.

As a matter of fact this is a good option specially if you have narrow street parking spaces.

The first-generation 'Sync by Microsoft' in Ford vehicles.

A disaster of unequaled proportions. The dealers and Ford's support teams were as cluesless on how to operate it as the customer.

It actually brought the entire company down. A nightmare.

The number pad / keypad entry system by Ford.
