They should have come with the standard 2014 unit, IMO.
2) "Those who waited," if they get this car, will be paying more money, even base MSRP. Every buyer who didn't get a 2013 will be paying more money than I had to. For example, when I got my 2007 tC, it was about $16,900. The base price for the new ones are pushing $20k now. Its a different car at this point, but the MSRP for the FR-S has already increased twice, to my knowledge. Power bump allegedly scheduled for 2015 will increase the price as well. Yet here I will be, car mostly paid off, still tearing through curves and twisties with a stupid smile on my face.

I'm talking from a marketing standpoint with the whole First 86 party, 10 Series exclusiveness; not that elite anymore. Of course it's going to be more expensive, those options are not free.
Based on what I've seen so far, you could pick up a used '13 for 20K. I'm looking for one to run on weekend events and on the track.
I too have a stupid smile on my face when I tear through the twisties... on 2 wheels that is!
