It wouldn't be surprising to see them come out with a real premium trim level (not the "Krom") that addresses this, because so much else on the car was likeable or otherwise acceptable. However ... I also don't think it would work if you wanted something to drive cross-country, like NY to Montreal by way of coastal Maine. (That's what the Z is for.
