For myself, the one feature would probably be a 6 or 7 speed manual.

For others, I would ask for a new engine with another 50 or so horsepower in the 350 so I could stop reading about how it's underpowered and how Lexus "dropped the ball" by not upgrading the engine.

F-sport with pearl white. I really like pearl white, but i had to give up F-sport for that... i don't like ultra-white... not to say it doesn't look good, its just personal preference : )

Not quite sure if I would chose splash guards because the body panels behind the wheels get full of asphalt stains between every wash, or if I would choose memory on the electric seats. I really want both.

Have to be some descrete splash guards that look good tho. Sort of like these:

No, give me a turbo or two.

Changed my mind - 8 speed for the AWD version.

If we're picking turbos or other bigger power gains, the sky's the limit but for general day to day, I would heartily agree with the electronic steering adjust.

But then the fat asses smashing on fast food all day would whine that their touchpad doesn't work after 2 large fries and a bigmac cause they got grease all over it rubbing their sausage fingers all over it

I have the HUD on my Camaro. I don't know how I did without one for as long as I did.

I want to:
1. Remove the mouse and replace it with something more intuitive, like the MMI from audi or iDrive on BMW.
2. Add LED lights with adaptive autolevelling and cornering light as well.
3. Add adaptive cruise control with all speed control + stop & go capability
4. Add Panoramic roof --> no more tacky black vinyl wrap
5. Upgrade the sound system, immitating the LS' mark levinson stereo.
6. Add power trunk
7. Add cooling seats on fsport models. Euro/asia market has this. Wtf lexus usa?

I would like a way to lock out 7th and 8th gear so that I can keep the car in full auto but not have it bog and then hunt for gears so much.

Gas cap release from interior or from key fob.

Am I the only one that dislikes pushing on it to open it?

Wouldn't you be putting your fingerprints on the door to close it, even if it opened via an interior latch?
