But if one needs a specific individual option like the Night Vision then this one is left off a lot. Which I can understand since in the city maybe you don't want it, too many alerts or something. But out here I think I would like to try it, not in the center view but the warnings in the HUD I think would be valuable.
Of course people will spend time configuring vehicles (ie "Build Your Own"); but the figures I have seen, indicate the majority of sales are dealer lot.

I agree that it would be great to always have access to vehicles specced just to desired options while shopping, but this is not always possible.
