6 speed manual is going to beat the CVT. I don't care what Honda and Toyota keep saying about the CVT. I've got the greenhybrid.com real world database showing me the CVT just isn't as efficient as when people shift themselves.

And for those whining about no dead cow interiors, why not get the accord hybrid?




It can't be because the Accord gets worse gas mileage, because that would imply some concern with the environment, wouldn't it? If it were only about saving money on gas, you'd be looking at an Insight, a MT 05 civic, or a Prius 'cause they're all better for mileage. Leather tanning (not to mention the resources that went into the cow) is not good for the environment.

Just sayin'.

Adaptive Cruse Control. This is on the new Acura RLs. It senses the speed of the cars in front an adjusts the brakes/gass accordingly. Would be really nice on those days that I draft behind SUVs.

If not XM already installed like many have mentioned, I would settle for them attaching cables to the back of the stereo and having them in an accessible place so you wouldn't have to take the dash apart to install the XM kit or Ipod adapter.

Agreed.
That was a retarded oversight - requiring a near dash replacment amount of labor to get XM integrated.

The ONLY explanation I can fathom for such an oversight, is they WAY underestimated the demand for the "true" XM readiness. Either that, or their mechanics/service departments need more $$$.

What do YOU wish it had?
1) Fold-down rear seats.
2) Manual Transmission
3) Factory installed antenna and cables prewiring for the XM radio option.
4) Option for a 5 door hatchback.

1) An optional Sirius tuner. I don't like XM's selection. They also need a better solution than dismantling half the car to put the satellite tuner in the trunk and gluing the antenna inside the windshield.

2) Real iPod integration. Being able to see the album covers would be nice, but I'd settle for being able to browse the songs on screen.

3) Bluetooth

4) A flip-down armrest for the back seat. Or cup holders, at least.

5) Better paint colors. Am I the only one who thinks it odd you can't buy a "green" car that's actually green?

I would like for the headlights to turn off automatically when the car is turned off.
