plus
rear view camera
automatic window defogger (senses humidity levels in the air)
rain-sensing wipers
bluetooth
iPod input jack
XM NavTraffic
30 GB media storage drive
HID lights
pushbotton start
proximity key (as long as you approach the car with your key on your person, the door will unlock when you touch it)
active rear head restraints and all of the other safety features

It's also pretty light for its size at 3700, 3800, or 4000 pounds depending upon which engine you select.

For a driving enthusiast, I think the Pontiac G8 GT is going to be the clear favorite. (Hyundai has said that the Genesis V8 will manage 0-60 in under 6 seconds. But the G8 GT is pretty consistently delivering a 5.3 or 5.4 second 0-60 time. I would be really surprised if the Genesis V8 matches that, and even if it does, the G8 GT will be substantially cheaper.) But for luxury with reasonable performance, this car could do well. I'll be curious to see what the base price model costs, and how it compares to the G8 V6.
