Default Who uses the fob?

Why didn't Honda integrate the remote in the key? I'm thinking of just using the key without the fob cause its to bulky. Anyone else?

They started doing that now with some of there new models like the Accord. I would like to see the keyless thing the rl has next year.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but a remote integrated with the key seems less "sporty" to me.

I am kinda on the same wavelength, I just think the key with buttons on them are too bulky. My friend has a VW Jetta, and I like the way the key is on it. Kinda like a little switchblade with buttons on it.

The new C6 Vette has this already. Just get in with the transmitter and hit the button. Also the new Cadillac ?? 2 seat convertible has it.

I always used the fob. The slight bulk never bothered me, but then I've had one on my keychain since I started driving.

my guess is that they suspect most people to get aftermarket alarms that would replace the stock fob. factory alarm sucks.
