I agree with you 100%

but unfortunately most,if not all Auto manufacturers have bought into the "options package"idea of choosing options.I never liked it myself,and i think it caters more to those who have alot of $$$ to spend as opposed to those who are more ethical in their option decisions.
I for one would like to be able to have the SS appearance package,but with a V6 and a 6spd transmission...but unfortunately that would never happen

And you would think given the price of gas and a higher insurance premium for a V8 powered car,and the condition of the economy that it would be more ethical to offer such an option
