If I don't like what's in there, I would like to be able to d/l (or the dealer) another one.

That sounds nice, barring that at least 10 years of guaranteed upgrades would really be nice. Cars last a lot longer than phones and these systems get dated really quickly.

Agreed. I don't think 10 years is too much to ask for really.

Seconded. 10 years should be standard.

Microsoft supported XP for over 12 years, and Windows Vista, 7, and 8(.1) are each getting a decade. If Google wants their OS to be used for "serious" things, they need to at least match that.
