This. All day long this!
The manufacturers do not make performance cars to sell performance cars. They make them to promote and sell the volume vehicles. Sure they make a big deal about the GTs, S and R versions of their cars but that is be able to flog the ESs, LTs and base models at a much greater margins. It has been this way for decades.
