Because when it's finally available later, you have one person that's angry for not having that option available to them at the time and for being told they're dumb for wanting that option (pipe dream, basically) and the other person looks dumb for dashing someone's dream once what they wanted finally IS released.
Example:
In 2008 I said I wanted my STI with rear fold down seats and quad tip exhausts. My buddy said I was gay and that Subaru would never do that for the STI. Well guess what happened in 2011?  However, did I know that was going to happen three years later? No sir! Now my friend be lookin' like a fool! |
Granted it's a more costlier item but it's basically the same in our consumerist/disposable society -something that depreciates quickly and is often replaced long before it's unusable (or it's no longer cost efficient to maintain). We should mark this thread and see how many people still own their FR-S three years from now. My argument is you don't have have to denigrate someone else's purchase (of a 10 or monogram) and I was illustrating a point that this negative mentality will spill onto the new model. Technically we should be a big twin family but being snide and immature shouldn't be tolerated amongst adults. It sucks Toyota is offering but that's a boring car maker trying to wring more sales out of a good seller. To be honest with you, new cars usually sell more in their two years of inception so it's kind of weird that Toyota is rushing this along. A lot of car sites believe this is Toyota positioning themselves to break away from Subaru.
