I don't see the under-promising and over-delivering the post mentions. If anything, if true, it is now under-delivering in my opinion. Base on what I saw before, it was assumed that the gull wing doors and 3rd row seats were standard. Now, according to the post, the 3rd row seats are optional. Thats a very different. I wouldn't mind if they decided to do optional gull wing doors for some customers but making 3rd row seats an upgrade totally downgrades the expectation if nothing else for me.
Gullwing doors seem really awkward and create more problems than they solve (low garage roofs, ski racks etc). I hope they are an option, rather than standard.
