My C6 Corvette has the keyless go entry and push button start. I know a lot of newer cars have this now but I really wish the TL did its so easy and convenient to never touch your keys. I also liked the power telescopic steering column with easy exit feature.

My 08 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 had autoleveling HID's, rain sensing wipers (that actually worked amazingly), and a nav with built in hard drive with USB connectivity. Adding songs was sooooo easy and quick.

So to sum it up this is what I wish my TL-S had that I LOVED on previous vehicles of mine:
-Keyless go with pushbutton start
-Autoleveling HID headlights
-Automatic rain sensing wipers
-Hard drive nav with USB
-Heated steering wheel (like the Maximas)
-Air conditioned seats
-Power telescopic steering with easy exit (seat moves back and steering wheel in and up)

Unfortunately if I want ALL of this in a vehicle Acura isnt gonna be the one as they dont offer all that. Lexus and Mercedes are a couple that do.

Wow you must have really had some nice cars. I would have never thought of most of this stuff. It's all fluff to me. The TL's comes pretty well equiped stock. The only thing I really would have liked is rwd.

As I was driving today I realized that when I have my heater on, I always manually switch to recirculate mode whenever I get close to another car or else I'll smell its exhaust. The cabin filter doesn't do shit. One feature that would be cool is the ability to detect when there's exhaust in the air and automatically switch to recirculate mode, then switch back when it's clear.

Yup!

...then cooled seats, and auto folding mirrors. Oh...and power tilt/telescoping wheel. A manually adjustable wheel in a car of this level is an anachronism.

The Lexus GX has a tape deck too. My father said the salesman told him that it was for books on tape, 'its the new thing'. Sounds wierd to me.

Don't know what all the hubbub is about rain sensing wipers. The TL has speed sensitive wipers and they are as good. Ive had experience with the BMW ones and they sucked.

Much posted on but...

1. SH-AWD (or RWD)
2. Heated steering wheel
3. Front passenger seat with the same adjustment as the drivers
4. Timing chain
5. Folding and damped passenger headliner grab handles instead of the old school ones we have

Unfortunately, that's a result of the disc you're listening to or the radio station you're listening to. You can always get it with XM though.
