What's a feature you would want to see on a new car by Ford?

I'm in a concept design course and need to do some ethnographic research. This is geared towards SUV vehicles. When stating an idea, please inform which model it should belong to and use as much detail as possible. Thank you!
 
I think the LCD gauge cluster in the new Fusion is a good idea, so putting something like that in an Explorer would be really neat. And I don't know exactly what the start up looks like, but it would be cool to have the Explorer logo slide across and maybe even like a start up chime that's synced with the computer.

Also, maybe this isn't legal since it's a distraction, but some random LED/neon cords that surround like the dash trim or shifter or something else would be really cool.
 
Personally, I'm sick of 'features' like parking assistance, roll/yaw control, 80 airbags per car, anti-slip, anti-lock, adaptive cruise, etc., etc., etc. What Ford needs is a rear drive vehicle that looks like an Infinity G35 for $20K. Do the execs at Ford really, honest-to-God, believe that people care about or lust after a car that looks like the box a G35 or Altima came in?? Add to that a giant, chrome grille that resembles a drainage ditch barrier pasted onto the front and you've got yourself a retro kitchen-of-your-dreams on wheels.

Features? I live on the Gulf Coast and the only feature I would actually willingly pay for would be a sunscreen system that would block the windows when the car is parked outside. This seems like a no-brainer, servo-mechanical system that would simply roll a reflective screen upwards or sideways on tracks from the door trim or pillars. hell, Benz can do it, why can't Ford?

Ugh.
 
solid front and rear axles, supercharged and turbocharged big block v-12, 44" swampers (from the factory), 3 4 bbl carburetors, open exhaust.
