Can there be an ideal car?

There are lots of features I like about what I drive, a Toyota Highlander. However, we rented a Chevy Malibu on our vacation and it has a few features that I think are lacking from my car, but at the same time, lacks many features that I have. I’d like to see a combination of features from both cars as well as some others in my next car. I’m sure that if I bought a real expensive car, I’d get them. For instance, I want:

  • Auto dimming rearview mirror
  • Bluetooth handsfree
  • Volume and radio controls on steering wheel
  • Built-in navigation system
  • Automatic climate control system, i.e. set it to 70 degrees
  • Car computer that gives estimated miles on tank
  • Automatic headlights
  • Variable speed, rain detecting windshield wipers
  • Homelink for opening garage door
  • Sunglasses holder
  • Outside temperature displayed on main screen
  • Larger displayed of info such as time, direction, etc. instead of having to hit a button to flip through a bunch of screens
  • iPod integration (like what BMW just announced)

I know that there are other things that I haven’t listed, but this is just the beginning of my list. In another 7 years when I’m ready for a new car, maybe I’ll be able to get all this in one car that I can afford.
