The guy wanting a wild weekend play toy should not be slamming the guy that wants a fuel efficient DD and vice versa. A forum such as this is the very worst place to determine if the "vast majority of owners" want "more power" as it consists of maybe 5% of them and we tend to be the group that leans that way to start with.
It has been said many, many times in threads already but the guys that think they just slap a on turbo on the assembly line and charge you $500 more just don't understand how the auto industry works. The companies exist to make a profit and if there is not enough payback they will not do anything just because a relatively small group wants it.
And for the last time - If they are planning a turbo/higher HP version it is already in the works!

Same with the whole more power thing! Sometimes I am all 'this is just perfect" then others all like "well a bit more would be nice"

Doesn't change the fact that they will only make what earns them the cash.
At least there are loads and loads of options out there for anybody that must have more!

It's a minor miracle this car got built at all. Shit people bitch about is amazing.
