I guess they don't want to push up the price and the 18s probably give it a softer ride, less road noise. Optional would be great but I don't think it's going to happen here. We are a tiny percentage of their overall market unfortunately. I haven't heard if any changes to 2010 Oz model will happen yet. But yeah, considering they have things like "headlight washers" as standard makes me scratch my head as to why they didn't include 19s as standard!
Hard drive and ipod connection would have been great too. I just want my damn Z already! It's going to be outdated by the time I finally get it
lol
