- Aluminum dead pedal (Mingster...)
- Black carpet also with red seats
- Clock in instrument cluster
- Move headlight washer button from the console to the dash
- More powerful horn
- Radio/CD combo instead of the Radio/Tape i got (Sweden)

and why not

- Include the hardtop in the price

I agree with most of the previous items. Another minor annoyance for me is no light on the ignition switch. It always takes a few seconds of fiddling with the key to find the slot. Let's see, that was a weight savings of 1.7 grams.

Speakers behind the seats would've been nice and 17" wheels would've been better than the 16" we got. I like the design of the wheels but, I like bigger wheels and smaller tires. I think if 17" came stock, I would've been less inclined to buy aftermarket wheels, but if you buy new wheels then the stock ones which are pretty nice are going to waste. I don't know, I really do want 18's on my car though, but if I already had 17" I don't think I buy new 18's, it wouldn't be worth it.

1) optional true sequential shift transmission,
2) no AC,
3) manual top,
4) no cruise control,
5) under-seat subwoofers and better all around speakers,
6) roll bar,
7) driver's side control for passenger door lock,
8) seats that support four point harnesses without weird jury rigged solutions

can lump into two groups - driver experience (door lock, speakers) and "club racer" (all the rest).

perhaps Honda could be convinced to offer a "club racer" package like Porsche did once upon a time?

saftey issue: add daytime running lights (in U.S. - I think our lucky Canadian members have this feature).

I traded a 2000 MR2 Spyder for my Stook and the one thing that it had that baffles me why Honda didn't do was a switch to turn off the passenger air bag. My daughter loves to ride w/ me, she's 14 and just a little munchkin and after reading all the warnings in the owners manual I'm scared to death of having her sit there.

Give up the tranny we have? No way! [/B][/QUOTE]

Sorry Jay, No offese. I love the stick, but as advanced as the rest of this car is, having a stick shift instead of wheel shifting seems to me like a prop on a boeing 777.

I guess I've watched too many F1 races.
