There are plenty of examples. Nothing wrong with starting out with a base model and then offering future upgraded models. It keeps the existing model line fresh and prolongs its life.

AMG Scion? FR-S M? If anything, the FR-S becomes the rumored cheaper version and Toyota takes over the big fun. At the end of the day, it's a freakin' Subaru econobox with a sexy body.

Not Nissan's design. If it were, "shut up and take my money."
