I'd agree. I will say though that they are putting doubts in the minds of early adopters who wish a feature or two were available but aren't (which we don't know until we have full details).
For example, if I wanted an FR-S but wanted heated seats and alcantara, which if we figure 22k base + 2k seats would be 24k (providing reasoning for not going with the est 27k brz limited) and I couldn't get that, what should I do? Wait for a RS that might have it? Buy it and source the seats and such seperately, or spend more for the BRZ limited? I'd probably go with the spend more on the BRZ limited method because I'm lazy. But some will wait.. and wait.. and maybe scion will release it.. maybe not. During that waiting though (and especially if a RS comes out with the only differences being say automatic CC and monkey butt paintjob) that person's patience and opinion of Scion will be tested..
I'd much rather have Scion offer the base car year one with all the options year one. I do NOT see any benefit to this release series stuff.
