It is comical that less costly cars do sell. I would never want one. But some people like an eco box to rack up miles and drive a to b m-f with no ****s given other than getting there and getting home. Those same people don't give two ****s about a sports car. I can only imagine the numbers have been run and they know what makes sales happen. The same feathers were ruffled in the jeep world when jeep introduced the 4 door wrangler.....and they sell like fuggin crazy. They sell with premium interiors and power windows and automatics and hard tops! I drive my 2 door, manual everything every day and love every second of it. I am clearly the minority.

So on the basis of what you are saying anything that sells must be the majority of the market and therefore nothing else should exist. So all you really want is whatever the most popular trim of the most popular car is, right?
We are talking about the value that cars deliver to individuals, to that ends I, as in me personally, see no value is being forced to pay for a pile of random and unrelated options just to get the one or two that I want. Its that simple. I'm not saying others don't want or are not willing to pay for all those things, I am saying I'm not interested and I know there are others that agree with me.
I don't know where you came up with the magical comparison of brand new car featured the way someone would like it and some one paycheck hero on craigslist, but its completely ridiculous. A V8 equipped car that lacks power leather seats or extra speakers or any other optional extra would in no way change the Camaro having been tested or driven around the ring.
