At 15 mph, the doors lock and the button changes colors to let you know the door is locked. When you stop the car and park, the doors unlock, and there are no *****/switches to push or pull. Only buttons to push.

Hate to be a master of the obvious here... but since the doors skins don't seem to have a lock/unlock button... maybe that is a door lock/unlock button in the middle? Hmm... 
Just a thought...
Looks to me like that button has a lip on the bottom to make it easier to push the bottom part... it catches your finger.
Not a bad idea... I know a lot of people that have a tendency to lock their doors on accident if they use the door handles/ledges to get out... I kinda like the lock button in the middle. Just use the key fob to lock it when you get out... and that button to lock from the inside...

Isn't the idea to be able to find it quickly but not accidently trip it while driving? It seems to me that once the airbag deploys, you'd have a hard time reaching for it on the center of the dash... but then I guess everyone would know you're in trouble if the airbag deployed.
...Or a central door lock/unlock button. I didn't see one on the doors...in fact, i don't even see lock ***** on the doors which means they've probably used an electronic locking system similar to what they've been using in German cars for quite a number of years
I hope they don't do the 15mph thing. I much prefer to have the doors to lock right away (when you put the car in gear, or when you release the e-brake on a manual transmission car) than to have them do it once you're already rolling.

Actually I was referring to the little button on the lower door trim with a pic of a car on it. That looks like a trunk release because thats where it is on Nissans.

Yeah the other one higher up is for mirrors.

The airbags don't stay deployed. They collapse immediately. Besides, hazard lights don't mean "I just crashed."
Interesting.
I hope they don't do the 15mph thing. I much prefer to have the doors to lock right away (when you put the car in gear, or when you release the e-brake on a manual transmission car) than to have them do it once you're already rolling.

PLUS, THE LOCK/UNLOCK button will now be reachable from the rear seats.

I don't see why they would put a lock/unlock symbol over a 12V source honestly... and its too small for a cigarette lighter type. WAY too small.

WOW - GM really did a much better job with the interior of this car than with the previously leaked car!
So... That means they will make remote start available on the M6? I figured it would be available on the auto, but had conceded it would probably not be off the table for us enthusiasts
Also, I am voting for the flip-out key fob as well!
