I'm curious about my fellow XLR brothers and sisters opinions on there cars and what they would change if anything. Even though I know that we all love our X's (you don't hear that very often) what is it that makes you wonder what in the world were those designers thinking when they did that?!?!! For me it's the outside rear view mirrors. They're like skin tags on Sofia Vergara!!! Not that I would kick her out of the garage for that....
 
Smaller steering wheel.

Beyond that, honestly can’t think of anything (& that took me a while to come up with). Love every square inch of her - even without the non-substantive “dress ups” we’ve done.
 
I think the outside mirrors are proportionate to the car. Anything larger and the mirrors would look like tow mirrors

It's not that I think the mirrors need to be larger or that I hate the mirrors. I just believe that they would have looked better if they had sharper lines as opposed to the smooth rounded look the designers incorporated. After all..... it wasn't referred to as the origami car for nothing.
 
2 irritating items for me,,,,,

1. A higher quality, non-problematic CD system

2. Location of the driver's power seat switches
 
Headlight washer heads

They put headlight washer heads on the front bumper. But there are no wipers! So it does NOT get the headlight lenses clean. What is does do is spray water all over the hood, leaving water spots. As a result, I don’t use the washer on the windshield even when it needs it because I don’t want water spots on the hood. Dumb design.
 
The trunk large enough to carry my golf clubs to the club house with the top DOWN, damnit.
 
DRL lenses

Wishing the cataracts on those drl turn signal light lenses were easier to replace or remove!
