Not that I could afford a new bird, but for $1M wouldn’t you think power seats should be standard? Doing without creature comforts we’ve grown to take for granted in cars doesn’t make you a better pilot.

Heated and air conditioned memory seats. Heck, my wife's Toyota has those and costs a whole lot less than 1 million $s.
OBD2 port for your mechanic.

Am not a member of the Cirrus club.
When looking at first airplane, went with a Baron over a Cirrus for a lot of reasons.
But let's be honest, They are doing something right to scratch the itch for a lot of folks in General Aviation.
Cirrus is the most popular and best-selling, single-engine piston in the world.

The next evolution in personal aviation doesn't need power seats, it needs a large infotainment screen that can make fart sounds! Give the young masses of future aviators what they really want, distractions from the chore and boredom of flying! Personally I'd love a "Jerry's Hits" collection of sounds, including "kinda on the ILS".

I upgraded my USB outlets to USB-C for a couple hundred bucks. (Shhhh! Don’t tell anybody!) For sale: 1962 Debonair, equipped with USB-C outlets. Price reduced to $500,000!

CAPS becomes a delete option.
Thousands of Cirrus cultists’ heads explode as the parachute around which they’ve centered their lives is obsoleted.
-dan Thinking similarly. Additionally the Continental CD-300 FADEC JetA burning engine. I would think Auto throttle would be easier to do on a full FADEC system. $1,999,999.00 price tag
The introduction of the Continental JetA 300hp engine would be very smart and strategic. In Europe TEL (lead) and 100LL is banned as from middle of next year and the Cirrus engines are not eligible for the various lead free alternatives.

Cirrus bought the Lancair Evolution Program and added a chute.
I would love to see Cirrus buy the Evolution. The problem is by the time they would be on the used market at a price I could afford, I will be too old to insure in one...
