On the other hand, on the roads I frequent most weekends, a sports sedan would be worthless. Different horses for different courses.
And yeah, what's the point of the padded top on that console? It sits about four inches lower than my elbow. I have a cheap DIY idea for an armrest. If it works, I'll post it.
As far as the U.S. market goes, I don't see why the XT would need a lot of upgrades. People buy RAVs, CRVs etc. in the States, and they don't come close to the XT's appeal. And if you're not hauling a heavy trailer or six passengers, the XT performs as well or better than a lot of bigger, costlier and thirstier midsize SUVs (in most applications).
