Anyone else find it weird that the hand brake is on the passenger side? I'm so use to it being right next to me that sometimes I grab nothingness only to see that I missed it by inches. The only explanation I can come up with is that this vehicle was originally designed for right hand drive.

doesn't bother me a bit. My Subaru was this way as well. Keeps the cup holders next to the driver.

Hey, yeah it's over a couple of inches from the usual position...
Be glad we still have a normal STANDARD hand brake. And not those hokey foot pedal ones, like on old school buses.
Or, have you seen what those Germans have forced upon their drivers >
They're taking all the physical-ness out of operating a vehicle.
If you haven't tried out their new "shifters" on their automatics, give it a try...
You'll think someone just handed you an old Atari joystick.
Talk about a weird feeling.

Buick uses the same electronic Parking brake concept on the Regal, Verano, and Lacrosse. Its on the dash.
How are you suppose to make hand brake turns in those?! Push the button? lol
