Two Odd Observations

Feel free to add anymore these are the two that make me scratch my head:

1. Why is there no removable liner in the cup holder? All the other cubbies has easily removed rubber liners like every other car except the dirtiest location, the cup holder area.

2. Why don’t I have a redline on my tack? I know I know in an auto with all the computers it hasn’t been needed for sometime but I miss it.

3. Why can't we roll the window down, at say 50 mph, without wind buffeting?
4. Why isn't a 33 gallon tank standard?
5. Why are there door lock buttons that you can't pull up manually?
6. Why is the sheet metal so thin?
7. Why aren't rear wheel liners standard?
8. Why is there so much orange peel in the paint?
9. Why isn't there an engine splash pan?
10. Why is the tailgate latch an electronic actuator?
11. Why is the oil filter in a terrible location?
12. Why don't we have a transmission dipstick?
13. Why do running boards mount to the body and not the frame?
14. Why do I have a "keyless" push start vehicle but do not have proximity doors?

Bighorn level 1 with remote start and "keyless entry".... which is misleading at best. They should refer to it as "remote unlock", but hey marketing meatballs pulling in 6 figures are working really hard on this stuff
