Re: Small things for the wish list
I just got back from driving my 4th gen around all day and there is another thing I'd like to add since most of what I'd like was already mentioned. How's about a turning radius that's better than a full size truck this time? Thats always bothered me but I got a reminder the last 2 days. Just think that would be nice.

Re: Small things for the wish list
How about the two basic things that made me get a 6MT G35 Coupe over a GTO?
Automatic Climate Control.
Xenons.
Anything else, I have no pressing need for. Stick the window switches wherever the hell you want GM. Cupholders? I just need one. I'm selfish and single, so I rarely have a passenger. Put it anywhere. Just give me things that I would get for spending this much money on an import, and I'll buy domestic. Because I really do want to buy domestic.

2. An engine bay that we can be proud to show off from the factory
3. A cloth option that is tasteful (please no more zebra print!)
4. If/when a convertible is made, please no 3 piece boot, an nice integrated cover ala Corvette would be nice
I know the design is amazing, and the powerplants will be stellar, its in the small details where this car can really shine.

Re: Small things for the wish list
I can explain one possible reason for having the parking brake on the passenger side. I'm 6'9" and in cars with the e-brake on the driver's side it is useless to me, I simply can't use it because my leg is in the way. I actually factor in parking brake location when looking at a possible car purchase. Its not that much farther to reach, and really helps out those of us that need it.

Also, this may fall in as a big thing... make sure the V8 cars look differnt from the V6 cars. I believe this was a nail in the coffin of the 4th gens. (Maybe not as much for the Firebird/Trans Am side of things.) We need more that a couple of cheap emblems to set things off.
