Automotive Easter Eggs
Discussion
Apologies if this is already a thread, I couldn't find it if it is.
This evening whilst browsing the various corners of social media, I stumbled across a curious but interesting discussion... Automotive easter eggs. I thought I'd have a look and there are loads where the manufacture has simply decided to have a little bit of fun for the sake of it. A couple of my favourites are -
Renault Twingo RS with pause, stop and play pedals
Vauxhall Corsa glove box shark
Post more, the more obscure the better. Over to you guys and girls.

The glove box shark was actually a selling tool to distract the kids, whilst adults got the sales spiel. Cleaver stuff really
'hey kids can you go find the shark in the car while I talk to mummy and daddy?'Yeah, I can see that working. Pretty smart by all accounts.
Jeep started putting little easter eggs on their cars a few years ago (though they have odd things for decades). But they did go to a lot of effort in recent years. I am sure you have seen these on the windows:
There are others and a friend who has a Grand Cherokee spotted something like 12 across the car. The windows thing is genius though - its neat and interesting, but its utterly cynical too. Aftermarket windows are common here and clearly Jeep wants to sell the OEM ones. Just putting the logos / easter eggs on saw a big up-tick in customers requesting the OEM ones. So much so, you can even get aftermarket stickers....
Genius. But as a group, Ram does something with measurement things on the dropdown tailgate and in the arm-rest cover. And I understand that Ford F-150's have a bottle open in the rear trunk. There are so many of these things.
