I didn't actaully mean to call anyone names... I call lot's of people idiot's (including myself). It's really not personal, trust me! IMO we are all idiots for one thing or the next.
Ah, I phrased that poorly. What I was implying was that a cheeseburger doesn't have very much differentiation whereas a substitute for a particular car doesn't give the same sense of satisfaction that a cheeseburger from a rival chain might.

Well, some people might treat cars interchangeably, but I think we're all on this board because we think the FR-S/BRZ is something special.

I can understand why dealers add on all the extra junk also - the car is rare enough right now that it's guaranteed to be sold (even the 38K one, apparently!). They might as well try to make as much money as possible off of it. That's just business.
