As far as amenities go...

- A seat-back quick-release lever.
- Automatic headlights
- Variable intermittent wipers.
- Steering wheel mounted radio and cruise controls.
- A cruise control on/off light.
- Sun visors that pivoted to the side windows.
- Decent AM radio reception.
- 007-style machine gun turn signals and oil slick dispenser.
- And yes, a non-obtrusive and functional cup-holder.

What did I leave out?

 

You covered it well. I would add;

Automatic windows - up and down.
Ability to open windows using FOB.
Automatic top controls on FOB.
Reversing sensors.

 

I could care less about the other stuff, I just want a swivel sun visor.

 

Integrated Bluetooth

 

a supercharged 4v DOHC 4.6L for the '03 - '04 Cobra with matching T56 6-speed.

 

Sound system that plays mp3s, leather on the shift ****, switches & dials that don't feel like they were made by Mattel.

 

A small handle inside to help get in and out, seat takes a bit of a beating.

 

Deeper rear gears with 5th and 6th as overdrives. Add another 1,000 rpm before it hits the limiter???

Old School
'04 coupe
'03 Grand Cherokee
'01 Wrangler
'67 Belvedere 451 stroker

 

FP - The "automatic up" windows will never happen because of product liability litigation. The first time some moron got his <insert body part here> caught in the window while it was going up he/she would be on the phone with a lawyer before they even called the doctor!

The reverse sensor is already a genuine Mopar accessory. Chick this link:

BTW, Wyckoff Chrysler is a good source for parts/accessories. I ordered my cargo cover from them and had a good experience.

 

BOBS - The window auto up did happen - my caddy srx has it on both front windows and I love it. I believe it has a reverse sensor if their is a obstruction in the way.

 

Bobs - agree. Wyckoff is a great place to buy. They are quick, good service and their prices are decent. When I was over at the PT Forum they used to give us a discount. Wonder if we could work something out with them for this forum?

What I'd like to see for the Crossfire?
A way to hook up my I-Pod without using a transmitter.

I have it on my Armada, and my Beetle.

 

Had it on my Chrysler 300c also.

 

I almost forgot, and far from last on my wish list...

- A chirping alarm confirmation

(by the way, this thread was only intended to name amenities available on many other cars, and not major engine, drive train, exhaust, etc stuff. That's a whole different story for those that think that stock isn't satisfactory).

 

" A Spare Tire"

 

I was waiting for that one... But the automatic temperature control would be nice.
And Xenon HID's should have been standard equipment on this car too.

 

My Scion tC had it.

 

Better steering
An ESP/TC off button that really works

And just to pile on about the windows...I had a 2000 Infiniti I30 with auto-up windows :-)

 

1) A compass. I really miss having some idea which way I'm going when out joyriding on back country roads.

2) Indicator of what gear I'm in (there's a space for it on the dash, but it seems to be active only on the auto-stick apparently. Not usable to double-check whether I'm in 1st, 3rd, or 5th gear before letting out the clutch).

3) Cruise control on/off indicator.

4) Two more inches of cabin space to recline and/or move/adjust the seat (I know ... outside of the 'scope' of the thread).

5) one-touch top retraction. Holding the button for the whole process keeps my hands occupied when I should be using those 22 seconds for putting on seatbelt and sunglasses so I can get rolling.

Mentioned before, but these are the only ones that really would make the car perfect:

6) Intermittent wipers (more than just one speed).

7) A usable cupholder (or ... maybe two, even?) - safely away from my elbow.
