The tint is a very good idea. I'd also like to see a true "Sport Suspension" package.Also, the cargo mats should come standard.

I desperately want either the GTR or GXP body kit made available. I would also like to see the GXP tail lights made available. Also, the performance parts from TRD could at the very least be rebadged as GM SPO. Just my .02.

Roof Cargo Carrier please! What's the point of having crossbars only for bikes and kayaks? Most of us who actually use them need the space for actual luggage on (camping) trips, thank you very much.

I think actual tinted glass would be ideal. I'm afraid to get tint because I have yet to see a good tint job.

GM Superchargers are Much Too Expensive, as related to total vehicle cost/value. They should be in the sub $1k category.

ACTUALLY.......the early ones were dealer installed. They consisted of a big phone in the center console, with the 3 extra ONST*R direct buttons. Didn't have theft tracking, and the air bag deployment sensor was primative (there was a shock sensor installed under the bag that got crushed if the bag went off). Took about 6 hours to install one, and you had to provide your own cellular service to it. I want to say '94~96 or so, Suburbans, Tahoe's, Trucks, and Buick Park Ave's were the only ones I ever saw it on back then..... They have come a LONG way in 10 yrs!

I just thought of another one: On an older VW I had the option to hold down the UNLOCK button and the driver/passenger windows and sunroof would open depending on how long you pushed the button. When it was time to lock up, holding down the lock button all windows would close....I've forgotten to close my sunroof a few times and had to get back in the car and turn on the ignition switch to close it each time.It's really a convenient option and doesn't seem like a difficult or expensive mod...

For the 2005+ Models, the crossbars for the roof-racks, center console armrest/lid, and a kit for adding 12v receptacle in center console, as found standard on previous models, should be offered as add-ons or accessories.Newer models should have additional features and accessories. Had I known that the newer models offer less, I would have purchased a 2004 model.

I was given a part number 12498684 for cross bars, but they are the aftermarket type that go over the mounts, not the standard ones found between the mounts on earlier models.The Parts guy at the GM dealership could not find a center console for any model year vibe, hence could not get the part# for the armrest or 12v adapter, could not find the cross bars on earlier models.... Yes, maybe he was helplessly in the wrong position. I thought he was, but then two of his colleagues couldn't find them either and shrugged me off.

Hey this is my first post. I really wish they would make some heated seats/ mirrors. Whether this is factory or after market I would have paid the extra for these.

I would like to see a cover for the luggage area. Something like a shade that one could pull over to hide/conceal stuff left back there.

Something like a shade that one could pull over to hide/conceal stuff left back there.There is a vinyl cover that attaches to some of the clips in the luggage area. It's not very high quality and sags a bit, but it does do the job of hiding belongings that are back there. It used to be standard equipment but was made optional in 2007. The covers come up for sale here and on eBay periodically. There are also several DIY plans on this site for making sturdier luggage area covers.

Personally I would love to see a limited slip style of differential. This could apply to a AWD or just the FWD. The six speed to be the standard transmission and a 5 speed automatic with paddle shifters for those long winding roads in the southern part of Michigan.
