Options or base?

They seem to heading the direction of pricing the car close to $65k and including all of that stuff.
I have no problem with those features being options, as long as the pricing is commensurate. Many don't want/need all these features (heated seats in Florida?; Nav for a track car?). Since the outgoing model was ~$60k, I'd be happy in the $63k range without these. Problem I have is how options are packaged in the US sometimes limits choice.
