Agree with you about it not being illogical to think or hope... ... however don't ASSUME... because that certainly becomes illogical if you don't take into account actual history. Hint.. you might notice me doing that..

Same could be said about the E36 M3... A car that came to the US with no " individual throttle bodies " etc etc.. and people said wasn't a " REAL M3" (myself included... yes.. I was an elitist E30 M3 owner... but I've learned... and bought a " parts bin " car myself... and it's AWESOME.
doesn't matter the seats only came one color..
doesn't matter if there were only 3 exterior cololrs
doesn't matter that it didn't get a CF roof, no DCT.. no sunroof.. etc..
