How many cars have a dash-mounted parking brake release lever?

The current -generation (2010+) Subaru Legacy and Outback use an electronic parking-brake release-button under the lower-left dash.

The Buick Verano has a similiar but smaller parking-brake button on the console, behind the shifter.

Technically, parking brake should be used every time, not doing so puts too much stress on the locking pin in the transmission.

On the MB S550, the parking brake looks like the traditional pull lever, but it is in fact an electronic, power window-like, push pull "button". It doesn't have a pedal to set it. Probably similar to the Jag and others, just in the traditional location.
I also use the parking brake all the time, partially a throwback to my old manual trans days, and I hate the feel of the "thunk" when the locking pin disengages after parking on a hill or steep driveway.
