My dealer did this on the last car I got too. 42 on all of them. I'll have to check whenever my mav shows up. Its also i guess neat that tire pressure monitors are accurate now. My old car just kind of gave me a "theyre fine" or "this ones low" (til the batteries went out)

-v6 option
-W8 option like vw had once? Ok maybe not
More realistically I wish there was a green paint option. Something like the dark blue they nixed or a deep emerald metallic.
I'm still waiting on mine (any day now) so I'm not sure what will annoy me or what I'll miss from the taurus.
