For me, the main thing holding me back from getting on the waiting list is that it is much slower 0 to 60 than my sister's Yaris. If the Fortwo could get in the 9 second range, I would be happy. As soon as a reliable power up package is available either from the aftermarket or factory option, I will go for it.

Go take a drive

Have you actually driven a smart? I have, and it has no problem keeping up with traffic, or accelerating to highway speed. If you want acceleration in a 2 seater, go buy a S2000. The smart works for what it was designed for, and economical and fun commuter car. It also happens to work really well on our large interstates. Go test drive one at your local dealer before writing it off as slow to accelerate. I think you will be pleasantly surprised, unless you drive a C6 Corvette everyday.

I want power delay so when I turn off the car, I hit engage the electric windows and the cabrio roof.

Also (which I couldn't help but to mention) I really wanted a OEM: GPS, XM Radio & Bluetooth options.

get the avic-d3x with xmradio - It's got all of what you want and completes the car - check out my gallery... didn't have to change the stock speakers either... (had a 10 radio)

A real 6 speed manual transmission with a clutch. Also, turbo boost and nitrous just for doing burnouts wouldn't hurt either!!!!!

Cruise control would be my first choice. And I want an "aux" setting on the ignition so I can play the radio and operate the windows and top without lighting up my whole dashboard. I guess that's two, but WTH.
