The radio is a standard size and isn't integrated into the vehicle's other systems, so it's quite easy and cheap to add more video/nav features if desired. It's also pretty easy to add seat heaters, leather and HIDs.
It's better to have a less expensive car and then add the options a-la-carte in the aftermarket than to have an over-equipped car and try to work backwards.
Scion sells it as a sports car. We're all free to add luxury features if we desire.

So due to your own impatience and lack of willpower, you think trim levels and options are bad? You know you can request the dealer to remove the dealer installed options, right? Set your instant gratification aside and order the car you want instead of taking what they have on the lot because it's there. The only fault here lies with you.
No we are not free to add the features if we desire. I've gone to my dealer and requested the GT 86 Limited parts, they have refused and say it is not possible for them to order them in. This is why it's better to have the options as you can still choose to get them. The way Scion does it, you cannot.
Yes, I could order the parts on my own from a 3rd party, but then I have to pay the 3rd party as well and then install everything. I'd rather get it all from factory/dealer and cut out the other middle man and save some money.
