Default What Feature Would You Add?

Not sure if there is a post like this already but I was just wondering what people would say for this question.

If you were given a chance to choose ONE thing to be added to your car, what would you pick?

This could be anything from turbocharger to sunglasses holder. It just has to be something reasonable. (Nothing crazy like a V12 engine.)

A nice v6 exhaust sounds, like the g35/37 but better, not too intrusive!

How about a Nav system that lowers the stereo volume when it gives instructions...

No Lexus should be without memory seats and electronic telescoping steering wheel column. But that's kind of a boring answer. Maybe the touch pad instead of the mouse?

No, give me a turbo or two.

Changed my mind - 8 speed for the AWD version.

An adaptive cruise control that works all the way down to 0 mph, and auto resume when the queue starts to move again.

why not just have the car drive itself lol? not sure if you've seen an old top gear special, but bmw were able to create a project car that could drive itself around the top gear test track. pretty awesome.

You no longer need to care much about hp or torque once you have a car that drives itself. I don't know if I'll like it since the performance aspect may essentially be removed from the equation, the only way to differentiate one car from another other are safety and comfort.
