Cars.com's Top 10 Innovations
Have you bought a new car recently only to be astounded by how quickly automotive technology has moved since you last brought a new car home? We're astounded too, and we see almost every new car on the market. That’s why we decided to rank the Top 10 Innovations over the past 30 years or so.
Then we decided to take a look into our crystal ball and see what some future innovations may be. Some are already here in select models, while others are just daydreams of ours and car engineers. Hopefully concepts like self-repairing paint will become widespread so that trip to the grocery store and its evil shopping-cart-filled parking lot will be a lot less scary.

Always underrated: Heads-Up Display
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-Up_Display
I couldn't disagree more about heated and cooled seats. I've owned many upscale car names over the past two decades and have come to the conclusion that if you live in the greater Northeast or Southwest (or east) of the country the best interior is cloth not leather. I've learned this the hard way over the years. I've even gone as far as having Lexus special order me an ES with cloth interior and just heated seats.
Cooled seats are terribly over rated.
so mike, you basically bought a overpriced Camry? Congrats!
It never ceases to amaze me the level of ignorance that the internet brings out. Comparing a Lexus ES with a Camry V6 in 1993 was not only acceptable, but expected. To do so in 2006 is just plain ignorant. Having owned both vehicles in the past fours years I can attest to how they are vastly different in many aspects.
Then again I come to find that low-wage earning individuals often feel the need to bring down others, hence sboyNAcamero comments.
Love the new Kicking Tires section almost as much as I love reading Joe W's reviews.
