The rpms drop very slowly because of the drive-by-wire system. It's a little disconcerting at first, but is supposed to be better for emissions/mpg and such.

Nope, unless they changed that from the 2k5. No trunk button other than what's on the remote.

Enjoy!!

No button but there is a wire. Crawl through the rear seats and into the trunk and pull the trunk release wire.[sm=joke.gif]

You can get a tuner, and a tune which will make the rpms drop when you let off the gas.

You can put your own trunk release button in for less then $3. It's fairly smple. All you need is a momentary contact normally open switch. One leg goes to ground, the other to a white/pink wire that is in the wiring harnass by the fuse box. I documented the procedure and included pictures in this link:

Trunk Switch


Be patient, the pictures take a while to load.
