Yup, the "base" model cars are too up-market now.

Start at 26k (2.0T)
$900 NPP
$1000 Sunroof
$500 Nav
$2000 RS Package
$1800 Auto trans

Almost all cars have these- you're now at $33000 for a base model car with no leather. Take off sunroof or nav (grab V6?) and you're still north of $30k. Base GT starts at 32! I have seen V6 (non VERTs) for $43k! And higher! Crazy

Which is why so many grab the SS- they want the performance. The 1SS is frankly a bargain for performance- no car is as well-rounded around a track in that price range. Stang and Scat Packs both can't handle either straights (Stang) or corners (Scat Pack).
