why does the headrest manipulate the spine?

yah, when we push our head againt the headrest it feels wierd on our upper backs, but that's just the exast opposite of how it's designed to work. your upper back would push back first during a rear impact which pushes forward the headrest to keep your head from whiplashing.

You must have the standard options package. With the Executive package, not only do the headrests massage your back, they make sure you get a happy ending too!

Yep. When I first test-drove the car I was like is there something wrong with the seats? Then I figured out why it was doing that and thought
