Why not put the cup holders in front of the shifter? My girlfriend's Ion has two big cup holders in front of the shifter and it is easily accessible and not in the way.

let's think outside the box here guys. The cup holders should be suspended from the roof!! Glass roof and vert owners are screwed!
When voice prompted, Sync will deploy the cup holder mechanism from roof which will float ABOVE the shifter so as not to interfere. They will be able to accomodate 120oz Super Duper Big Gulps! yeah!!

Remember the foxbody cup holder? It was wedging the cup between the e-brake and the passenger seat. I love my 97 cup holder is pops up from under the center console, better than the 1998-13 cup holders in my opinion.

Just move the shifter to the steering column. Yep, manuals too. Don't laugh, it's been done before. I'm old enough to remember "three-in-the-tree" manual transmissions.

OK, not so much of an improvement as a "carry over". I realise this styling cue was only introduced on the 2013 models, but I love the two DRL lines on the outside of the headlamp. A relatively subtle nod to the 1970 vents seen on the outside of the headlamp (one which about 99% of the population wouldn't link to the '70 model). DRLs are becoming a signature styling cue, which I think BMW kicked off with their halo/angel eyes, and most manufacturers are following, especially Audi.
With the '15 likely to be much less retro than the current car, it'd be great if this styling cue could continue, albeit in a different headlight design.

Here is something I dont want to ever see in a Mustang; Steering by wire, although I imagine in the next year or two buff magazines will be touting the next gen GT-R with steering by wire as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
