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.

I was referring more to misconceptions about how products are developed, who has a hand in their approval/development, and how information is disclosed about those new products. Of course upgraded models/trims can be added, but that's a completely different discussion from the point I was making in my post.
