In fairness the car is not always driven as a sports car even by people that bought it as a sports car. Sometimes (most of the time?) it is just driven as a car.

But...

If you want an armrest then just go buy an armrest. It is an option after all. Why should everybody be saddled with something they don't want or would not use? This goes for many of the " the car should come with the factory with..." stuff people complain about. If they made every change that every individual wants it would be a costly tank or a race car that nobody could drive on the streets. The guys that designed it and came up with the features that it does have did a great job of meeting the mid point of race car and DD as far as I am concerned. If anybody wants to swing the balance one way or the other there is nothing stopping them.
