LR3 wishlist

I have a bit of a wishlist posted here:

Two things come to mind:

1. Backup camera. I'm surprised that this is not standard now, as it's standard with a lot of lesser vehicles.

2. Power fold side mirrors. I had this on my ML320 and at first I thought it was a stupid feature. However I ended up using it everyday when I parked in my garage as it made a big difference for being able to get around it (especially when my kids would get their bikes out). As it is now, I only have about 2" on either side of clearance getting into my garage. I don't have a problem with that, but my wife is very nervous driving it in and out of the garage.

2. Power fold side mirrors.

Did you know that the UK versions have this? Ironic isn't it?

If I remember correctly, power folding mirrors and power steering column adjustment started to appear in North America in 2008... at least for loaded ones.

The mirrors barely fold; I'm not sure it's that useful.
