A gear indicator would be nice too. I noticed a buzzing sound when the car is in gear and the ignition is on so maybe there's some electrical stuff for that.
The rev-match feature would be awesome for this car but manually doing it yourself and getting that "perfect" downshift is really satisfying. Back to exhaust systems, how is the Fast Intentions setup, Rochester? Does the exhaust crackle and pop like the Motordyne or is it more tamed?
You would expect the performance model of a "luxury" brand would have had an optional sport exhaust.
You would also expect the top-of-the-line model 6MT to get the down-shifting rev-match tech, since it was already in the 370Z.
For that matter, how this car doesn't have a heated steering wheel is a complete mystery.

But on the way down, particularly if the RPM fall is hard, there are occasional crackles and pops. It's not common to normal, typical driving, but does happen.
If someone is reading this and wondering what is meant by "crackles and pops", go YouTube the Jag F-Type... which is a car that fully embraces that phenomenon. Exaggerates it, in fact.

It's certainly loud, but deep and a very consistent growl on the way up. My best stab at adjectives for this opinion is that the FI exhaust tone is smooth and well-modulated.

I have the same setup on my sedan also. I personally think the tone is amazing and the car really opens up with more throttle. However, the exhaust is kinda quiet imo. I would've expected the loudness level (for lack of a better word) to come stock on the car. Sounds almost stock at idle and a bit louder than stock on throttle but you get a more VQ growl.
