And another vote for heated steering wheel. Would rather have heated leather than wood not heated.

- Heated steering wheel
- Thicker steering wheel with "bumps" as per BMW wheels. I'll gladly trade the wood for all leather since I don't like the transitions.
- Paddle shifters - I know, it's not a performance car, but I use the transmission a lot in stop and go traffic and it would be safer to keep both hands on the wheel.
- Lower frequency response from subwoofer (I have ML system).
- Sound system that remembers volume settings for each music source.
- Seat heater/ventilation controls in a sane location where they can be seen and easily accessed by both driver and passenger.
- No buttons invisible behind steering wheel (instrument dim, odo). Why can't those be controlled by the multi-function switches?
- Roof rails optional.
- Optional panoramic sunroof.
- Optional blind spot monitoring system.
- Blind spot mirrors integrated into side mirrors - my stick on ones look tacky...
- Less awkward centre console lid.
- And oh yeah, backlit buttons in overhead console.

A display showing auto wiper on/off. A lane change feature that blinks three times when turn signal is activated. A back lit garage door opener button.

Nah, I don't care about that - I don't think this car should be flaunting any "sporty" pretensions.

I did forget TPMS that can handle two sets of wheels, so I don't have to visit the dealer every time I swap my winter wheels.

don't think of it as flaunting sporty pretensions, think of it as symmetry

symmetry is beautiful


& tpms should display psi readout on non-hybrid models
