The biggest thing that I find lacking is the limitation of aftermarket up grades to the cars. It would be great if the manufacturers would offer after market or an options package to include items that can be used to upgrade the car. Having limitations on the original purchase is one issue but when additional disposable income becomes available, those of us that like to tinker would like to add to the vehicle after it is complete. For example I took a 1977 911s (porsche) and originally started restoring it. The car lacked performance with the 2.7 liter engine and it probably wasn't the best year to start with the base car. I elected to put a 3.8 liter normally aspirated motor in that puts out double the horse power. Of course I needed brakes to stop the car so I put brembo (SP) brakes on it that required larger wheels, which required flares, which seemed obvious to do suspension mods, etc., I did not like the modifications I did originally so I changed it out to a 3.8RS body type. Anyhow you probably get my drift on this.
