Yeah, your list illustrates why there remain a number of choices in cars. Tan leather? No way. Leather yes but dark. And low seats, naw. I’m short and need power seats up high. I don’t like to sleep while I’m driving. I’ve also never been a fan of fiberglass. Its a lot easier to repair a dented metal panel than a cracked fiberglass one. Rust is not a big problem now.
I actually am pretty satisfied with a lot of the designs at this point. Some of my criteria was a little hard to find though. I want a long long warranty-10 year, 100K bumper to bumper. 4 wheel disc brakes are mandatory. Front wheel drive. Comfortable interior with guages and easy to understand info centers and audio. Good styling, but fold down seats to be able to carry a 2x4 or so in the trunk. At least able to tow a couple thousand pounds, and of course reasonable gas mileage (30).
