    what? What ever you think realistically, no it cannot come with Cindy Crawford as a passenger. :D

    I wish it had one of those LED lights in for the under shifter area storage. I can't see crap at night, they should put a light there for future models.

    The option for the user to program user-programmable options. If the sentence doesn't make sense, we shouldn't have to ask! That's just about reason enough not to upgrade IMO.

    Who wants Cindy Crawford as a passenger? Too much competition man.

    Actually, I wish it had more zip.

    • All LED lights (interior/exterior like Lexus) as standard equipment
    • User-customisable screen (The HS has a vehicle settings menu and it lists ALL the customisable features that us Prius owners need to go to the dealer to get changed [door locks, lights etc])
    • Driver's side drop-down box. It'll be nice to be able to put change somewhere
    • Additional ambient lighting (I love the fact that they've thought of it for the Gen 3 but modern lighting has soo many possibilities for soft ambient lighting)

    Presets on the climate control, so I can set it how I want it and it stays that way. I don't want it to recirculate unless I press the button.

    A slightly wider, longer and more supportive seat. I don't know why the seat has a hump in the middle.

    A mute button on the stereo.

    Not much really.

    E85 capability, inside hatch release, and many more gauges. (Ideally, all OBD-II reports)
    I would like to able to program it to glide with no throttle, rather than give engine braking on no throttle. (This could not be the default, as it would not be what 'normal' drivers expect)

    Agree 100% about LED's.
    I would like to see 100% LED lighting.

    On the climate control, separate the heat and AC setpoints such that when I turn off AC, the ventilation can go to LO (actually NO heat) rather than heating to the AC setpoint temperature.

    A button to bias the battery to a lower charge level, so that I can reach the top of the mountain with only 3-4 bars instead of 6. This is both to save fuel on the way up, and to have more room for regeneration on the way down, to delay that screaming engine braking when the battery gets filled. It is perfectly fine for this setting to require driver action for every use, and to cancel within 5 minutes.

    In the US, those of us with Type B audio have it, those with Type A do not. See the manual, pages 291 and following.

    Pat is one of them furriners, who likely have different equipment.

    Locks on the glove boxes and the under floor storage cover. Window shades, heated mirrors and hatch release on key fob. I have to agree on a LED light for the area under the shifter. That one should be an easy mod since there is a blank switch near by.

    Factory direct sales (no slimy, lying dealers)

    Included Scan tool software and any special tools needed for DIY maintenance included for a nominal (not ripoff) price for those who want to maintain their own car.

    A LED display in the corner of the rear hatch window that displays the iMPG and current tank MPG for all of those tailgaters to see. :madgrin:

    I like it! Most wouldn't get the instant MPG so I would just like the tank average displayed. Additional incentive to drive well for me too.

    umm you have heated mirrors. It's activated by the rear defroster button.

    Also a hatch release on a keyfob is kinda mute isn't it cause you'd have an SKS release button anyway...

    The Recirc thing is programmable (for the Gen II), isn't it?
