Lex2BMW, from your list of complaints, I can tell what is important you you in a vehicle and it sounds to me like you made the right choice switching to a Japanese car. You could have also went with a Buick. Different strokes I guess. The things that bothered you (sunglass holders, MP3 input, key fob, back-up camera/sensors, running boards, etc) wouldn't even be noticed by me. Instead I would be focused on the powerful brakes, brilliant steering feel, silky smooth engine and great looks.
Glad you found a vehicle to suit your needs though.
