More features that Detroit should offer

My 2005 Buick has a feature.  After dark, it keeps the headlights on long enough for you to reach your front door.  At least that's what it is supposed to do.  In real life it either turns the headlights off before you even get out of the car, or it leaves them on too long, causing me to stand out in the rain, watching, to make sure the car does actually turn the headlights off before it runs down the battery.  They ought to reprogram the computer so that the headlight timeout does not start until the last car door is closed.  This way I could take the groceries out of the back seat and still have some light to climb the front steps and find my door key. 
  Second feature, a fold down back seat.  Folded down, you could fit long stuff like skis and two by fours in from the trunk lid and get them all the way inside the car, and close and latch the trunk lid.
