I remember reading that too, linked to the story about the designers. I recall when door handles on various makes of car went to flush fitting or at least only stuck out a little bit, and it was proudly touted as a "safety feature", because the handle could still be operated if the car had been rolled or something, whereas with a "normal" door handle (as they have mostly gone back to now), the handle will probably be wiped off in an accident.
Still...fashion first, eh...?
