Funny you say that about rolled up car windows. My 2004 Pontiac Sunfire with 113,000 miles has all the modern features, a key to open and lock the doors, a key to insert in the ignition to start and crank up and down windows, but has a powered moonroof, remote trunk lid and built-in satelite radio.
I think Lionel removed the door feature due to costs and the failure rate on the original Acelas.
