I don't know if they still do it, but I loved my old Saab 99 with the ignition switch in the console between the front seats. Intead of locking the steering, it locked the gearshift in reverse. It didn't make anything work better, but it made the end user experience feel different/special.

They kept it for a long time, I had an '87 900 and a '04 9-3 which had a fob but still plugged in and turned in the center like the old ones. I liked the position; I heard it used to foil car thiefs who couldn't figure out where the ignition was
