Need more compartments in the console area for sunglasses, notepads, etc. I log my business travel in a small notepad -- I haven't figured out yet where to keep the pad (plus my pen) yet. (the area next to the cupholder in the flip up console is too deep for the pen -- it would be a pain to find when I wanted it) See #2. 2. Having a second cupholder is great, but putting the damn thing under the arm rest was stuuupid -- poor ergonomics in an otherwise smartly designed interior. A second flip out cupholder on the dash for the passenger would be nice. (BTW: removing the cupholder from the center console armrest would fix #1 above). Hint: take a look at the 2000 Infinity I30 -- passenger cup holder is near the heat/AC vent to heat/cool your drink. 3. Add separate controls for the REAR heated seats. My in-laws got into a big discussion over what is a comfortable temp for their behinds -- mother in law wanted it hot; father in law wanted it cooler. Since the front heated seats are standard on the 9-5 wagon (but you still pay the FULL amount for front & rear heated seats), the extra controls would be very nice. Overall though, the 9-5 is one helluva car. :) Paul
