Regarding options...all too often options are in "packages" and it's an all-or-nothing scenario (look at the R-Spec package of the Gen Coupe)...getting a car with only the options you want can be painful if not impossible, especially for a non-elite car manufacturer (Porsce, Ferrari and many other exotics take options/customization to extremes).

Yeah I know. That's why in my original post I said I really wanted Navigation to be it's own separate option. I want all the tech goodies EXCEPT that.
But I've never run into a problem in terms of getting the car I want. The vehicle before my current car was ordered by the dealership and I waited 2 months, but got exactly what I wanted....it's now been donated to my sister, and is doing great for her. (A 2007 Suzuki SX4....no it wasn't fast, but honestly it was a GREAT little car, with a superb all wheel drive system, low weight, great fuel economy, and a suspension that was actually sporty enough to be genuinely fun, especially in winter!)
