I’ve seen a number of people swapping out to the Tremor CVs. 

That would make sense.

How does this compare to other brands, like GM, Toyota?

I recall the following accident from a few years ago.   https://www.kold.com/2021/10/04/girl-dies-after-power-window-accident-inside-parked-car-phoenix/   From my perspective this tragic accident or others like them should never happen because children and pets should not be left unattended in vehicles.   For what it’s worth, these global open and close features have almost no value whatsoever to me personally because I rarely open and close windows.  Can’t remember last time I did.  Obviously auto manufacturers include these kinds of features for the segment of population that want them, so everyone else gets them whether they want or need them or not.  The question I ask myself is where should the line be drawn in the name of convenience and or safety?  Possibilities are endless and so is overall complexity and associated vehicle cost creep.  I suppose free markets will take care of it because a lot of these features are not required and if costs get too high then buyers will push back demanding more affordable vehicles.  Maybe we’re getting close to that now. 😀

Give the customer less and charge the same or more = company profits and happy share holders.

I sure hope they beefed up the front CV axles.....(wink-wink)

No brainer.

The difference is if you’re in the vehicle and someone gets a hand or other part in the way you see it immediately and can reverse it.  With global close you may not even be able to see the vehicle so if someone got their head stuck you’d never know.  

Farley in his infinite lack of wisdom has been eliminating front fog lights on a lot of Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Safety be damned for those of us who live in areas subject to frequent heavy fog. "Cost cutting" to put profits and shareholders above the needs of the customer is their mantra. That's also why there is no drivers side grab handle for ease of entry/exit, the "carpet" is thinner than pool table felt, the sheet metal is even thinner as you can see the hood skin deflecting as you drive on the highway and why it only has a 1750 lb towing capacity due to a thin weak subframe when compared to the smaller Corsair with the same powertrain that has a 3500 lb towing capacity.
