I would so love to talk to Tada-san in person. Well, I can't think of any great questions at the moment (in reality, I'd have a lot of little questions about the development of the car), but since he's always asking people, what would you change/improve, I'd love to have him hear my opinion:

Suggestions to change/improve:
Smoother power band/more mid-range torque (Make a more advanced intake?)
Smoother shifting at all temperatures (Make a better synthetic transmission oil? Add triple synchros to 4th gear?)
More steering feel/feedback (Stiffen steering bushings/dampers?)
Better sounding exhaust (Have Yamaha tune it?)

Suggestions to add:
Arm rest
Memory seats (mechanical)
Split fold rear seats
Glove compartment lock
Miles until empty display
Tire pressure display (psi)
Adaptive Front Lighting System?

Suggestions to lower weight:
Aluminum or plastic front fenders
Aluminum roof and trunk
Forged aluminum suspension arms/links
Brembo aluminum brake calipers
BBS forged or Enkei MAT cast aluminum wheels
Mahle forged aluminum pistons

And I agree with Synack in that I'd like to know if or why they purposely put 0 camber up front and if he would say that the "camber bolt" is the "official solution." And I'd also like to know if the dampers are really valved differently from the BRZ to FR-S since he originally said they were but they've been tested seemingly the same.

And of course, see if he will answer what will change for the next model year.

Other than that, just have him tell Scion to stop being such a cheap, crappy brand and allow some options for us like the HID/LED's.

I thank him and I thank you!
