i understand that, but the biggest thing i hate, and all car manufacturers do this is with the signature lighting. its just some LED's in the housing. some manufacturers are making two entirely different headlight housings to avoid giving the signature lighting across all trims. before signature Led was a thing, they were doing this with HID headlights. in 06 i got a base model volkswagen GTI with HID standard across all trims. in 2011 when i traded up i had to get a lighting package to get the HID headlights, which transformed the whole look of the car. so when i see a headlight that juast basically contains a placeholder for the LED, it annoys me. its such a small thing that makes a big difference and i think they leverage that into the pricing, knowing people will pay more for something that costs them nothing.
back to HID headlights. it used to be that all bmws regardless of trim or model had HID headlights. when HID lighting became more mainstream in all cars, all of a sudden bmw stopped making them standard. then you could get a hyundai with HID head lights and a bmw costing 10k more to start had halogen headlights because it was a base model. its ridiculous.
sorry for the rant. i just always find that i can never build a vehicle the way i want it. to get the things i really want i have to get a lariat with fx4 package. at that point i should be looking at a ranger.
