Default What feature would you like to have as standard equipment on all RX models?

Here's my request to Lexus!
How about dual exhaust on all RX models. Most high end SUV's have dual exhaust! Take the Acura MDX or the Mazda, Hundai, Mercedes, Audi, etc all have a nice set of chrome exhaust pipes coming out the rear. Not only do they look sporty but think of the extra performance and economy!!!
What would you like to see??

The comfort package should be standard.

Definitely a heated steering wheel would be nice. I could care less about dual exhaust. I have a feeling that would mess up the concealable tow hitch.

Power outlet where it is very accessible - such as somewhere around the front console.

I agree with that one 100%.

When I drove a new Audi it has almost all the things everyone is listing here. Why can Audi have it all and sell for just about the same price.

because of the yen I would think.

and because the 2.0T is probably cheaper to produce and has been in their lineup for quite a while.

Wow, nobody has mentioned a sunglass holder. I don't miss it so it's not on my list. Rain sensing wipers that turn on the headlights would be first. Then I'd say heated steering and heated/cooled rear seats. For the navi system, maybe a more colorful display. HD capability to load up a few of my favorite CDs. Expanded voice commands.

wait, are we talking about things that we wish the RX could be equipped with, or what the RX should come with standard at $37K...?
