Default What new features would you have liked(realistically) for 05

personally i would have liked to see a factory moonroof and two tone painting offered at every dealer, not just the SET based painting available.

if you do that, then you can't get it for $14k-$15k anymore. realistically, there should have been a maplight and arm rest with compartment in there. and engine temp guage that you really know if engine is really heating up(analog) and not that blue and red light warning thing.

Realistically,

I think they need to match the opther two A/C vents by the door to the vents on the front console and surround them with a ring of that simulated aluminum.

Drivers Seat attached Armrest (I think this is really the only way its possible with the limited space between the seats).

Bag the amber lighting in the interior.

Also, they should have clips for the led lighting already installed under the dash. Everything else snaps in why shouldn't this?

Lose the cigarette lighter, just give me the power outlet and a coin holder, the ashtray is just stupid. Even the people I know who smoke don't use their lighter or the ashtray, everything goes out the window.

A light above the rear tailgate!!!!!

Cruise Control definately. Arm rests, sure. Sunroofs are definately fun but I could go either way. I miss the compass and map lights my old car had.

Ummmm.... maybe options for better headers? Would it kill TRD to make headers domestically?

  • Polar White Roof Paint Accent w/Matching Spoiler
  • Black Sand Roof Paint Accent w/Matching Spoiler
  • Thunder Cloud Roof Paint Accent w/Matching Spoiler

All cost $924.
Hmm, what new things?

options:
Moonroof
Better Rim Selection (more variaty, more sizes, I like 16's )
Different interior options (varied clothe, leather, etc)
More body options (different spoilers, grills, etc)

standard:
Cruise Control
Arm Rest
Better lighting (map lights, etc)
2 rear cup holders

Don't even need a V6...just a good 4 cylinder engine that puts out around 150HP or so...not too much to ask for and it wouldn't raise the price too much.

Ive been thinking about pop out windows in the back. If they put one of those pop out things that opens one end of the window about 2" and is hindged in the front, it would allow for much better air flow from front to rear. They sit recessed anyway, so just reach in and pop em open, now that would be cool...

15 more hp and 15 more lbft of torque and more powerful AIR CONDITIONING. It's only 90 here in Phoenix and i've tried the A/C at full power and was NOT impressed. I am scared to think how this thing is going to do when the temperatures hit 115+.

I just have visions of struggling up mountain passes and roasting in that little box with the A/C on full blast while 5 ton SUV's blast past me on the left, their passengers icy-cool with their nice overpowered American engines and overpowered American A/C.
