If you did need to stop the car in a straight line...like if the brakes went out, you'd have better luck downshifting.
Exactly, OEM manufacturer's only make the E-brake strong enough to keep the car still on a hill with a 15 degree (cant remember the amount of incline, but its probably different for each one) incline.
