control may be updated. As Mr. Ricco mentioned, a better integrated MMI will be welcomed. Where in Pa. are you?

Wood steering wheels and shift knobs.

Advanced Key, which is like similar keyless systems in Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus, and the Toyota Prius.

No voice recognition (I had my dealer check specifically on that one, since I really enjoy using the voice recognition in my wife's 2004 Acura TL).

If you order the wood steering wheel, you get shift paddles
