The first time I saw one was on an SRX in our dealer's showroom. I opened the liftgate and lo and behold, there was a button on it. I pressed it, the car beeped, then the lights flashed, then it started closing, without me touching it! And I thought power sliding doors were cool (Those are so yesterday!)! Now I regret not researching on a car with a power liftgate.
Another nice thing, is that if you want to manually close it but you don't completely shut it the first time (like it still moves a little but seems latched), the motor will assist in pulling it shut completely. That's why when you pull the hargle to open it, you hear the motor come on for a second or two. I tried this in the SRX while i way playing with it. I lifted it up a little, let go, then the motor assisted it shut. I also noticed alot of the Mercedes-Benz SUVs (even without the power liftgate feature) have the assist. I remember the first day we brought our Montana after we dropped my brother off somewhere he didn't close the liftgate properly, so the whole way home the DIC kept telling us that it was open and the interior lights were on the whole way. It's these little things that make me think, "wow I'm glad I got this car" or "Why the heck didn't I get this option" or "why didn't I get that other car!?!"
