    I suspect at least in part they're a cost-cutting measure. Our son's CX-5 has electric parking brake; I've driven the car multiple times, and still can't reliably tell if the damn thing's on or off, how to activate/deactivate. Plus there's a chicken-dance required if you're pushing back the rear calipers for a pad replacement.
