rain sensing wipers
Intelligent access

All unavailable on the Falcon and probably won't be. Then of course we have the future with the likes of the iPhone app dev that Ford are promoting that will link up to the cars computer, might be bling but it could well introduce so innovative features.
Park assist ....If you cant park you simply shouldnt be driving
Adaptive cruise control....... A benefit though not a car choice decider / deal maker breaker
Blind Spot info system.....If the design was good there would be no blind spot

A bit blingy but useful -

Massaging seats.......another weight adding gimmick - then the critics complain of fuel efficiency, but a space saver spare is acceptable ??
rain sensing wipers.....In my experience these are pathetic - i switch to manual override in the Renault Laguna
Intelligent access......Yet to own a car that boosts my IQ
