Well techinically I don't have mine yet, although only a couple weeks more and I should, but a couple minor things I did want on the car or at least as an option were heated seats, power passenger seat, and possibly a memory dirver seat. Although there is one other really cool feature I would have liked to have on the car that no one mentioned yet. And it is .................................................. .. A GLOBAL WINDOW OPEN/CLOSE FEATURE 
Errrr wait, is that technology too advanced????????? Well whatever, I just must be ahead of my time.

I have no problem with the cup-holder. I just got a 32oz. drink from QuikTrip today and the thing disappeared in the rear cupholder...didn't impede my shifiting at all.
I agree with the open space on the doors. More storage = better.
What I think is missing that should be added (and has been mention before):
Interior Trunk Release
Interior Gas Door Release
Dead Pedal
And having the Global Up/Down feature enabled or fixed so we can enable it without jumping through hoops would be nice!

I really have no improvements to speak of, save one. The seat back needs to be infinitly adjustable. In my '03 focus svt, the seatback was adjusted from a rotary **** that allowed infinite adjustability, instead of a latch with ratchets. It is not a power option, does not add weight or cost, and optimum seating position was easily achieved. I can find a comfortable seating position in the mustang, but it's never "just right." Other than that, they nailed this car because, if you're drinking in the car, then you shouldn't be power shifting and if your power shifting, then you shouldn't be drinking. And don't get me started on talking on the phone.

There's already a power trunk release on the key fob. The power trunk release even works with the engine running! I know because I griped about there being no power trunk release... then I tried the button on the fob and it worked. I was surprised because I would have thought the keys had to be out of the ignition for the button to work!
I'd still like to see the grille taper slightly at the top, and as the original poster said, the addition of "hips." Maybe the car will evolve over the next few years and give us more of what we're hoping for. Still think it's a GREAT car though.

How about a Shaker 1000 that reads DVD MP3s without any problems? After all, $1295 is a lot for just a sub and amp....
Oh, and Navigation too, since I plan to drive this car EVERWHERE!

Outside Passenger Side Mirror should be changed, instead of saying "Objects in Mirror are Closer Than they Appear", it should say "Objects in Mirror are Less Blurry if you Turn Down the Shaker 1000".

Auto dimming mirror with temp and compass is already available.

Alot of these things are available aftermarket, but it is always more expensive to add things after market. Ford should offer them as options.
I added heated seats but I'm certain I paid more for them than if they had been an option.

2) Move the brake from beside shifter to floor. Wife has '04 Highlander. It has push on/off - works really nice

It looks like there is an oil pressure gauge--bottom right gauge in the four-gauge cluster.

Better materials used in the interiors
Intrerior trunk release
Locking gas door w/interior release
Oil pressure gage

Oh, I've always wanted a car with heated seats. I love them.
What are you talking about? I have heated seats. Yesterday I left the top down and it was 90 degrees. The charcol leather was hotter than blazes when I sat down.

Maybe it's the music. Perhaps I should play some Boston Pops when cruising in my Mustang
But then I'd be hanging out the window puking.

The Verts have this. You just touch the top button either way and all the windows goe down in anticipation of lowering the top. You don't have to lower the top and can use this to quickly roll down all of the windows. You do have to roll all of them up with the specific buttons.

They are a dealer installed option rather than a factory option.

Yes, but the dealer installed options are considerably more expensive than when these options are available from the factory.
The dealer quoted me $499 to add the compass/temp mirror. That's not even the homelink.
