If a MT P-sprag is going to happen at all, my money would be on it as a joint venture between at least two of the three corporations. Just like the 10-speed automatic and the DCT.

I will be sad to see the MT go
But back to topic, as much as I hated my Mercedes I really miss the brake hold feature and the action the shift paddles had. Ford's implementation of paddle shifters leaves much to be desired.
On a Benz if you do a hold pull on the downshift it skips gears for maximum power. So you can hit gear before doing a hard throttle or entering a turn. If you shift up-hold it immediately calms down. It gives you much of the precision you would have driving a manual.
Also, the cruse control on a Benz is freaking amazing! Ford could even same money by having fewer buttons. Not a single one is needed on the steering wheel.

Adaptive / radar cruise control. My wife's 2018 Highlander has it, and it's fantastic...

Ha! Yep, I didn't even know I wanted it until I drove my wife's 2018 Highlander. No big deal though, my Aston Martin doesn't even have Bluetooth...
I bought the Mustang as a basic daily driver, errand runner.

Cross traffic sensors in the front of the car would be nice since the hood is halfway in traffic before you can see anything while pulling out of parking spots. Also, a front parking camera to help protect against scraping the chin spoiler on curbs. Coolers like those that come on the GT350's would be great too, or at least make it a factory option for people who want to track their GT's. Oh, and heated/cooled Recaros.

1. NAV (I found the perfect car. Assumed that big 8in screen had Nav somewhere. It didn't)
2. But seriously, the car needs HUD. The one feature my Vette had that I miss.

An aluminum chassis would be a good start.
