Cars passed that tipping point a long time ago. There are plenty of creature comfort features in the 86, as "base" as it is, that could have been forgone or made options so money could be spent elsewhere.

Look at all the threads on here arguing that the FR-S should have dual climate control and remote keyless entry like the BRZ. Sorry, don't need either one of those but I'm going to guess the next time I go to buy a new car I won't have the option to NOT get it.
