do want. They should release an IRS version just like back in the good ol' days 10 or so years ago as an option for people who like those tech bits.

I'll give Ford some credit. Happy to see them finallu start to bring some of the euro models into North America, something they should have done a LONG time ago.

As far as innovations, Ford has always been good at putting new features into cars that are still gimicky, but people do appreciate: Adjustable pedals, SYNC, and the adjustable backlighting come to mind. Although, I think the sequential rear turn signal flashing looks bizarre.

Meanwhile, Chrysler engineers are wasting time putting in features like "front headlight shuts off when turn signal activated".

They do that due to the DOT regulations.
The turn signals must be "x" distance from the headlamps or something like that.

Since they are too close together, the headlight shuts off when the turn signal is activiated so oncomming traffic can clearly see the turn signal is activated.
