I agree with Clamp, nothing wrong with having the car with options.
Also, brand loyalty and your view/expectations on what the car should be vs other people, it's a matter of opinion. I don't think it's wrong that people got let down a bit considering how good the Toyota 86 launch was and all the options that were available vs the north american launch. It's not wrong to question a manufacturer on their decisions, it helps build a better end product.
If the whiners want to REALLY be constructive, they should be notifying or messaging someone within toyota to try and push for change. This car was made possible by feedback from enthusiast, so who knows? Maybe they'll listen?
True people should expect that the Scion version of the car should be cheaper, but people put expectations on this car to be special in a sense that maybe for once the north american counterpart wouldn't get screwed on options like we always have. (at least the important bits are the same though, engine, chassis, suspension)
I've been watching all the threads so far from yesterday and yeah there are some definite trolls and there was lots of bitching, but even still, they're a few valid points within the sea of trolls in whining.
Another thing is that while some of us like to track/auto-x/drift our cars. This car is getting a recognized and hyped global release to a car that has cult status following. So the demograph of buyers is going to be all across the board so be prepared for comments like what was seen yesterday.
Either that or start a new hardcore FBR86Z community just for motorsport enthusiasts.
