It looks like they have listened..and learnt a lot and passed all of the research on to customers as a cost saving..
The car has had a good amount of cost taken out without detriment to the operation etc. Infact, it is more representative of what people have been doing to their full fat cars. Eg plastic side guards.
Some of the items you mention, I believe are upgrades for old and new cars alike..
Cheer up Phil, it's all good
