True that! A telescoping steering column would have solved the upright minivan seating position.

For the 3.0 guys, here's my list:

1. 5-speed autotragic would've been nice.
2. Bigger stock Bose sub than 8"... At least 10"...
3. Better-made OEM brakes. I just had my turned a few months ago and the nasty vibration is back.
4. Better turning radius. I went from a 91 Accord to a 94 Camry to this...
5. MAF, coils, and AT TSB's shouldn't exist.

Granted, the Max is a great car. I love it more than my Camry and Accord. But those are a few things I felt could've been either prevented or improved upon.

dual exhaust would have been cool, and probably would have been easier to design headers for that as well... No worries about equal length pipes.

something on the 5/5.5 gens i would have like to see is a 5 speed auto tranny with manual shift mode. dual exhaust and a better built interior so it doesnt rattle as much. i have no complaints with my 5.5 gen other then the supposed strut mount is worn out.
