1) Driver's side should have memory seats
2)Passenger power seat should have height adjustment
3)Side mirrors should fold to prevent breaking when someone bumps them
4)Consider offering rear sunshade and rain sensing wipers
5)There should be one touch up/down on all window switches, how much extra could this cost? 50 cents per switch?
6)I wish my shifter plate cover didn't squeak ;)
7) I wish the outside temp was always displayed in a smaller font in the corner of the MFD.
8)there should be an interior pull handle on the trunk to close it

  • It's not an RX400h. If money was no object that's what I would be driving.
  • My wife drives it all the time, leaving the van for me way too often.
  • The next gen will have new battery and probably do Emode up to 55mph, making me jealous.
But seriously,
  • takes too long to transfer and read another MP3 disk. No folder function on steering wheel controls.
  • Weird place for "ECO" switch, and having to turn it back on after using certain other modes.
  • Cloth fabric is nice, but maybe too nice. Doesn't look as durable as the cloth fabric in my Sienna, which also looks pretty good. we'll see..
  • Window/lock switches on door arm rest not very ergonomic.
  • MFD should have up/down button on steering wheel, whenever I accidentally miss the screen I want, I have to go thru them all again (or at least by able to choose the favorite hold down position, instead of going to TEMP display).
  • Also on the MFD, the ECO Drive Level should offer one additional level on the graphic for "Excellent". The existing 3rd level should merely be "Good".

I also think that there are too many controls on the steering wheel - do we really need to have the climate controls there? I think if these weren't there, there could be a better layout of the remaining controls.

I will also echo several comments already made.
  • Power seats should have memory
  • Mirrors should fold
  • Arm rests are too thin in their padding and the setup is not ergonomic (must reach around handle to get to window switches)
  • No one touch up on the windows
Droid13 are you serious about the Emode up to 55 mph on the next version? When would that be coming out? It might be a good thing that we will be putting so many miles on this car and getting a new one in 3-4 years. :shade:

serious about the Emode up to 55 mph
That was just general speculation. With all the things I've read about LiOn batteries and plug-ins and stuff, somethings going to be better and I will be envious for it ;)

I really love cruising in E-mode best of all, but 40mph is sometimes just a tad slow. Bumping this up would be the thing that would make me most envious.
