Show me a car today without keyless.

They've all been going that way for years. Last car I bought (two years ago, and it was a 2016), I couldn't find any equivalent vehicle using a key.

And no, I'm not buying some junk just because it uses a key. I buy cars that I know I can keep running forever, and in that category they're all keyless today.
