Agreed, I think many of us would be willing to spend a little more for upgrades like that. I wish Subaru and Toyota realized that. More so Toyota, they really hold back from performance parts. At least Subaru creates really cool models like STI and RA variants. I prefer OEM parts and warranty. (I consider STI to be OEM) And like you said, you can always negotiate a lower price.

The tires they use are the best compromise they can make to gain a few more points for mileage and emissions. It really is that simple. I think that the vast majority of people would NOT want to pay extra for special tires even if they could/would put them on. Most will be happy with what is there and the ones that want different will change no matter what. There are hundreds of various sizes and types so to say "better" tires may meet one person's individual tastes and suck for everybody else.

It seems like people expect the dealers to just give them away for the privilege of selling them the car.

Not disagreeing, just passing along the history.

Or, you'll be able to get a good deal on it because they'll just be sitting on lots in the snow belt....

California, Florida and the rest of the warm states prop them up a bit in the US but there is still a drop through the winter. October is the very worst time to put a sports car out on the market for the bulk of the North America. I can read the mid January clickbait headlines already "New BRZ Faces Extinction After Abysmal Sales in Last Quarter 2021" Oh and "Toyota Has Yet to Release the GR 86 That is Expected to Save the Twins".

There’s always the next gen 400Z. It’s supposed to be in showrooms by Spring 2021. With an estimated 400 hp, its obviously more of a Supra competitor than an 86 competitor. But unlike the Supra, the 400Z will offer a 6MT. Sadly, if people here hate the snout of the 2022 BRZ, they probably hate the looks of the 400Z even more. But it is an option if you are on a timetable.
