Sterling gray or a darker metallic gray. I miss looking clean even when I'm dirty

Ummmm, a reverse camera that you can actually use when it's dark out.

1 - Parking brake that won't fail
2 - User upgradable software
3 - Oil dipstick on 3.0si
4 - Parking brake that sets when you put transmission in park - Doh! Nevermind
5 - Oil pressure/coolant readings displayed on main screen
6 - An actual list of maintenance items, i.e. when to change cabin filter, when to change plugs, not just a "take to dealer" when a warning pops up

Dual headrest entertainment system won't happen because of the active heardrests.

Folding mirrors that fold when you lock the car. Why did they get rid of this very useful function ?!?!?

The ability to order the trailer hitch from the factory so it isn't a $1,100 dealer installed option.
