Lightbulb Would Be Nice!

I don't mean to be a lazy pain in the ass that always need something more, but I am.


Would have been cool to have back seats reclining to allow more trunk space. I definitely would have used that this weekend when I was trying to fit an Ikea desk in to it. 10 more inches of space would've done the job.


Would be nice for the stereo to turn on whenever you press any stereo control button on your steering wheel.


Would be nice if sunroof controls where located a little better, like on top where the map lights are. Also, how come some crappy Maxima has a one-touch control for moonroof, and we have to hold our buttons.


Would be nice for the memory seats also to control the rear-view mirrow (the one inside).


If you have anymore "would be nice" comments, share it with your people!
Would be nice to have a full-size spare.

You should've gotten an SUV.

I'm satisfied with everything.
But of course, it would be nice if it can cost $10,000 less.

Would also be nice to have a 6 speed tiptronic tranny with a power button (like toyota/lexus) beside the dimmer control on the left side that automatically keeps you at the height of the torque curve. (Although it may be fun shifting manually, I find that it would be once less thing to worry about when racing someone)

Yeh, that way whenever you hit one of the steering wheel's stereo buttons by accident you can have the stereo go on simply to then have to turn it back off. I'm afraid I'm able to turn the stereo on and off by having to reach ALL that way to push that little, obscure, on button

1 touch open/close on all windows and sunroof.

heated seats in the rear.

a backwards track button on the steering wheel, not just a forward track.

fuzzy stuff inside the sunglass holder.

18" wheel upgrade option.

But, I'm being really really picky here.

Cool

Yeh, the steering wheel's CD track should go reverse too. At first I thought mine was broken.

On a bigger scale:
How about being the first Japanese sedan to have a auto-retractable hard-top going into the trunk? If Peugeot can do it on their new $15000 car...

Yep, that's the new Lexus SC430 coupe. At the NY Auto Show, the crowd was applauding the demo - 25 seconds from closed to open, with one button touch. So cool! Acura needs to get with the program. TL-S Hard-Top Convertible!

I would like a hand-brake. One of the few things I don't care for is the foot parking brake and its release mechanism. I think a hand brake would be safer in a "brakes out" emergency.

I just hit the on/off button. The tracks and settings are remembered when I turn the stereo back on just as if it was a mute button.

Mute button on the steering wheel.

Hand parking brake.

Stereo also plays MP3 encoded disks and displays artist/title/album info. Now, if they had had that as part of the Nav I would have bought it!

If you want to play MP3s on your factory stereo, you could try this:
