If you see only in US, yes. If you look world wide, no.

Here in the UK you can pretty much get any car of this price range without Airconditioning. Plus even if the base model does come with a stereo, we'll be talking a basic CD headunit weighing less than 1/2kg and costing Toyota less than £10 to make. And im sure it will take all of 5mins for me to take out. So no big deal if there is a stereo as standard.

Toyota have always be saying that they wanted to start this car around the 20k mark... they are still saying it now.... so thats what im expecting.

Size/engine/spec wise its closest competitor on the road at the moment is the latest MX-5. And you can buy the 2.0 litre (160bhp) engine version of this with an LSD for just over 19k. So it looks like it doesnt need to be 1995....
