My list of do want:

- one touch up and down windows
- fold flat rear seats
- SD card slot linked to the sound system for easy audio so I don't have to put my zune in a cup holder
- FULLY defeatable traction/stability controls
- interior map lights using red light (allows you to see stuff in the car at night without turning on the overhead lights, and preserves your night vision)
- REAR WIPER
- no, seriously. Rear wiper
- sequencial rear turn signals of some sort (one of the coolest exterior features of the 2010+ mustang)
- Rear window defroster that WORKS. Japanese cars tend to be a bit weak in this area in my experience
- if it gets a turbo, a boost gauge
- a nice fat steering wheel with a flat bottom
- optional recaros
- readouts for fuel economy (instant and average)
- ability to get a loaded model without navigation
- cloth upholstry that doesn't look like crap
- ecu tuning which does not hold onto revs (this is used to lower emissions in modern cars but it's hellishly annoying for rev matching and hurts the sound of the engine....if it must be included, please give me a "sport" button with more aggressive throttle calibration which eliminates it)

Ok that's everything I could think of off the top of my head that is reasonably easy to implement and would t send costs soaring. What'd I miss?

yes! except the sequential turn signals. just give me a single, small yellow light on each side in the rear to indicate my intentions.

meh. my right foot works wonders. :happy0180:

I agree with oil pressure gauge, or at least an optional electronic display for it. A rev matching system would be cool if the pedals aren't properly placed for easy heel-toe, but it'd increase cost, so... proper pedal placement! Seats with good side bolstering!

I don't really care about infotainment systems in cars like this; if I had my way I'd go with a radio/navi delete option, especially with a high-revving boxer. Wipers and defrosters and crap like that can go in a cold weather package, I'd only be taking it out on nice days anyhow. I suppose a not-so-small thing I'd like would be a targa top. That won't happen, but I'm fine with it.

Really, if they make a true sports car, everything I'm personally looking for should fall into place.

they really should do a cold-weather package similar to the subarus: heated outside mirrors, wiper blades, seats. toyota usually does really well with their sporty seats, so i'm not tooo worried about it. they should be pretty good if the trend continues.

on/full off traction control

real nice cloth bucket seats but comfortable w/ easy to remove rear seats

comfortable steering wheel 350 mm Diameter will do
