Cropped up in conversation earlier, but other than some Mercs, what other cars are currently available with a foot operated parking break.

Kia Sorento. Was sitting in one in a showroom and crapped myself when I pressed a pedal and it didn't come back up (even though I saw the auto selector my mind thought "and the clutch on the left")

Thanks all, and I don't know why I said break when I meant brake, I can't even blame auto correct text.

The 1951 Chevy Pickup I'm looking at buying had one originally. So from at least 1947 they've been kicking about.
