Isn't the Lotus Elise the only car you can get nowadays with roll up windows? I read somewhere that the motors and wires for power windows weigh maybe like 1 pound more than a roll up mechanism. Doesn't seem like something that people would be willing to give up for the most part.
I think ABS can only happen with power assisted brakes. Manual steering rack would be awesome though, although considering the typical massively overassisted Ford racks that might as well be steer-by-wire, I can't see that happening either.
