Yes, everyone wants and can afford the most expensive version of everything ever invented. Thats why there are so many millions of Ferrari's roaming the streets of NJ and Hyumdai's are such a rarity.
It's not an absurd notion to think that people aren't always interested in every possible feature available. Even looking back to 4th gens, lots of Z28's with cloth, manual adjust seats even though power leather was available.
Base models, across every range, outsell the fully equipped versions. Its not an industry secret. Its also not a business secret to have clearly defined tiers of products on offer. Some priced so that people can join and be comfortable with the brand and others that people will aspire to buy in the future.
