Electric power steerig and clock on the radio.

The little computer on the bottom left part of the instrument cluster. I don't like having to reach around the steering wheel to press the button to change the display. There should be a steering wheel mounted "DISP" button.

Two more inches of legroom in the driver seat.

I'm trying to figure out how to modify the driver seat tracks so i fit a little better.

A few things I'd love Toyota to change:

- rear multi-link suspension standard
- clock radio or central clock
- blue backlighting for radio and gauges
- reshaped rear taillights and with LEDs
- make the sports moldings integrated with the front and rear bumpers

Just a few

Everything else is really good. I wouldn't change a thing at the front...it looks pretty awesome up there...especially on the S and XRS.

I'd also like to add the plastics on the center console and IP. I've had the car for less than a week, and I've already got scratches around the cup holder.

I'd make the Navigation System functional while the car is moving. Just have an "I Agree" screen that appears and is read to you by the Nav Voice the first time you try to use it while the car is moving.

Offer 4 wheel disc-brakes on all models

Integrate Bluetooth along with the Navigation (right now it's one or the other)

Allow an overide for the DRL

Power Seats

Definately a clock on the radio and a better display for the time, temp, etc. maybe built into the control cluster for the moon roof.

A change holder inside the center compartment

Make the back seats to be folded down from inside the car, not just from the trunk

A real iPod adapter that works with the steering wheel controls not just an auxilary port

Just to name a few...
