As an extra cost option, I would like to see some type of radar/laser beam that would disable all those vehicles that like to ride your a$$ or swerve into your lane or worse, like to ride just off your left rear quarter panel on the interstate so that you can't change lanes.

Just one 'pulse' and their ECM would 'die' for about a minute. They would coast off to the side of the road, wondering what happened. After a minute, they could restart and continue terrorizing others......BUT NOT ME!

Of course this would be included in the "Comfort Package", along with oil slick dispenser and 50cal turret. Safety First, that's what I say!

Sure, just rub it in...

Since we're wishing, here's my baker's dozen in no particular order:

1. Upgraded trip computer with MPG, etc.
2. LSD (Limited Slip Differential) for the rear so we don't have to kill the power when one wheel loses grip
3. Factory cruise option and rear cargo light
4. Variably intermittent wipers
5. Inflatable spare, jack, wrench option that will fit in the tailgate
6. USA gets special edition models
7. Beige/khaki leather interior
8. Easier/faster panel swap (don't have to remove power mirrors, better access to screws, fewer small parts, etc.)
9. More and brighter color choices (lime green, orange, yellow, etc.)
10. Fully customizable LCD displays for main gauge display and stereo/climate control area (you can move electronic gauge representations around, change skins, gauges, gauge sizes, controls, etc.) You can purchase new gauge packs/skins and upload to the car. Pretty cool until the backlight dies...
11. More options for dash pods (replace clock with ScanGuage-like functionality)
12. Stock stereo reads WMA format songs on CDs and has better subwoofer
13. Find a way to keep so much dust from accumulating on the rear hatch

HEY! Shorty... did you move my seat forward?

I would want legroom across the floorboard as deep as the well between the dead pedal and the brake.

Maybe a removeable or adjustable dead pedal?

I would kill for a couple more inches of legroom.

yeah, a proper dead pedal... while we r at it, how about TOP hinged pedals.. this way it will be SOOO much easier to clean the sand and stuff out from the "carpeting"...and yeah, how about carpeting that has loops and a pile?
