Probably because that's what you want to order. Which is fine.

Reasonably optioned means anything but a base/stripper car. The vast majority of people buying these cars won't be ordering base/stripper cars. That's because the majority of people getting these cars won't be the diehard enthusiasts. They want things like the "Executive Package." We're the minority.

Most dealers will order these cars in well-optioned for the customers that buy off the lot.

I think most of the enthusiasts on this board will at least spring for the "Exec. Package" (because of the Comfort Access and HUD) and maybe the "Driver Assistance Plus Package."

I really couldn't care less about how much the car will end up weighing because weight is not the sole criterion I use when deciding to purchase a car.

If you end up being right about the weight, I'll be more than happy to give you the credit that's due.
