As for the stripped down, basic tuner/racing spec... Has any other sports car had such a thing that was produced throughout the entire lifespan of the car? I'm not sure, but I don't think there has been one. In a way, it's a special edition for tuners and track junkies... take out all the shit that's going to be replaced anyway to keep initial costs down. Makes sense, but not necessarily to keep producing for the entire life of the car as it's really only for certain people, who probably have already bought one. I do wish that was an available option in the US though....

Agreed. Sales are fine.
It would also be nice if Toyota/Scion would offer the stripped model and a trunk CR package like Mazda did with the MX-5.
