Factory feature you want on your ES
Something I've always liked and wished that my '01 ES has is the auto-door lock feature from the '02-'05 models (when the shifter goes from P to D, and vice versa). Safety and security always come first in my book 
Let's share what we've always wanted in our ES, and it's gotta be a factory OEM feature

I would just want factory NAV.
AFA fun to play with:
1) It would be fun to see some high-flow passages that could be opened comming from the transmission pump & some paddle shifters that only use basic transmission logic (Ya can't pass redline, or drop below a high idle when shifting - nothing more complicated)
Turn sport shift on & the passages open - raising transmission pressure greatly & stiffening/quickening shifts while not being interffered with.
2) Get rid of the stupid electronic crap. Example: drive-by wire, transmission logic trying to be so advanced in concept that it comes out as f'ing retarded.
3) OEM transmission coolers that actually work greatly prolonging transmission life for the masses - not something looks like it should go on an ATV. (This goes to any manuf in general)
4) Lexus understanding that just because they build rolling, isolated land barges with soft suspensions - that doesn't mean they should undersize the sway bars 50%. You can have your cake & eat it too Lexus. Stop being Subaru LoL!

I wish my 01 came with the following:
- seat warmers... I know that they came on some cars that year... but I was one of the unlucky ones
- dual zone climate control... I'm always too hot, and my gf's always too cold... it'd be nice to be able to drive in the car with her without sweating from the heater on high
- Nakamichi system (or the Mark Levinson if it has to be from the current models)... I'm not a big fan of one-size-fits-all aftermarket systems. There's a lot to be said for factory systems... especially if they're one of those factory systems.

The new floor mats lost the "spikes" which kept them from moving around...a small issue but major step back in functionality. 
Ventilated hot/cold seats as standard would be nice.

Best way to keep mats in the same place is put a hook in them under the seat. Toyota needs to learn this lesson like mazda, ford, nissan, bmw & damn near everyone else on the planet.

The wood trim kit, gold emblems (must have), seat warmers, a new factory exhaust tip (my gold one is fading to a silver), sport suspension (those in the LS), chrome wheels, and definitely the original master key. My master key is gone and so I can't use my security switch. I only have the flat key.
