In a way this seems really funny to me because people are getting really heated about this spoiler and we literally have no idea if it will even make it into production in any version. It could be there just to piss people off  . |
I still don't think I'm wrong here. We are talking dealer options... not the biggest salad bar you can find at your closest Discount Auto Parts. These are generally sold as a kit (or as fiberglass and a separate hardware kit) and the OEM trunk structure supports it as is. They won't knock anything off the price per se... but it would reduce the overall cost and the base price. Car without a spoiler costs less to manufacture than a car with one.
I haven't seen anyone get heated, just some that really like it, some that hate it and some that can live with or without it. My point is if they are struggling to keep this thing in a certain price range, it would make sense to make this monstrosity optional.
