And there-in lies the problem with why you can't get a great car at a good price today, and what initially attracted me to the FR-S's promise of being a "basic" sports car. With the exception of the suspension, I don't consider any of this a necessity.
Heck, if I could get it with no TCS, manual windows and no radio, I would! Everybody says they want a back-to-basics car, but from what I can tell very few of us really do want it. Every gadget in a car costs money, whether its there because we want it, the government mandates it or the car company insists on it.
OK, climbing down off my soapbox now. Somebody get me a beer....
