- overhead console with map light and sunglasses pocket i always get a sunroof
- accessible window switches - either on center console or in front of door handle coming soon to your nearest Hummer dealer
- heated mirrors available via MUTH mirror, and I agree, they might be nice, but when I installed my signal mirrors, I did not opt for the heated mirrors
- fold-flat rear seats hard to do and keep current ground clearance. I believe the fuel tank is right below the drivers side rear seat. Making an opening for the seat to drop into, would require the fuel tank to be removed or made smaller. No easy answer to this one. If you want ground clearance the seat probably can't fold flat. but I also agree, it would be nice.
- NO chrome wheels on 2007 adv pkg (at least not standard) Agree, this is a dumb marketing move
- underhood engine light (nobody does this anymore) Totally agree. Due to lack of underhood light, the security system is basically worthless. I can open the hood without opening from inside, disable the battery, then the alarm is disabled. Don't ask me how, I won't tell you, but it can be done. I highly recommend a jimmy jammer plate installed under the hood, or better yet, an aftermarket alarm that has a mercury switch underhood. the thieves know how to do this...

And here's some "nice to haves"
- 6-speed manual tranny with hill-start clutch defeat
- mpg calculator in DIC damn things are never that accurate anyway
- rear window that lowers in some designs these are not good, problems with exhaust being sucked inside
- onboard power inverter i purchased one from Cobra for 24.00
- onboard air compressor
- backup camera
- air-suspension
- more cubby holes and storage areas this has never bothered me, but then all I have to do is look at the vette, where the console is only 1 inch deep, the owner's manual has to go in the cubby hole in the back since it is too large to fit in the glove box
- power seats with the cloth upholstery that would be nice, but again, marketing steps in and says we want it on leather only to help sell leather, again, I disagree with marketing
- RDS on stereo and aux-in port for external ipod/mp3 player i believe the ipod connections are coming next year
- one-touch up and down switches for driver and psgr windows agree
