Supply and demand, yes, but no one demanded leather in the FRS. I think that dealerships are doing this because they want to charge a mark up but mark ups are frowned upon so they're using aftermarket products they got for cheap to cover it up.

Where's the "demand" for FR-S with leather?
You may be alright(and by the sounds of it, young) but your dealership sound like a bunch of idiots. Those cars could already be gone and cash in the dealers pocket, instead they're still available.

If the "demand" was there like your claiming, NOBODY would be balking at paying above MSRP, and paying for leather, and those cars wouldn't still be there.

I stopped by Carson Scion last week, they called me and said they had the Asphalt FRS i've been searching for. Went in with high hopes....

Then see the car covered all around with the paint protection film leaving those unwanted lines across the hood and bumper, and in an AT when i specifically asked for MT. I demanded to have them not contact me anymore.

If somebody wants leather then they have an FRS with leather. Seriously, bro, who cares. I, personally, don't want leather, but I know lots of people that would prefer leather. Some people are going with BRZ because of the luxuries or whatnot. What if they have a Toyota and want ot trade it in for an FRS instead of going with a new brand all-together? Lots of thing to take into accound.

Btw, good on ya, MYFRSLA

I personally always found it interesting that people consider leather to be a luxury item. I suppose, if you dont live where the avg temp and or humidity is always high enough to make the seats smoldering or sticky...

Had leather in a couple cars, looked good, especially after maintenance, but damn did they make my back sweat on long drives.

Oh, I don't care. I was just calling him out on his claim of there being a demand("demand is demand" was his quote) for these cars, which there is, but not at the prices his dealer is trying to squeeze out of people, and especially with leather. If his claims were true, he still wouldn't be listing those cars as still available, whereas other dealers, can't keep these cars on their lots!
