It is far from absurd that the car comes with 16" wheels standard, especially with all of the article information that is out there. As pointed out, the base MX-5 comes with a 16" wheel. At the end of the day, a larger wheel/tire package does cost the manufacturer more money. To meet the price point it makes perfect sense. Scion is willing to compromise in other ways to meet their price, hence the 17" standard. This can not be looked at as a baseline for Subaru's decision. I would prefer the 17" standard, but intend to buy the base car as I like cloth more then suede and leather, and I do not like the spoiler. The deciding factor will be if the lesser car has a smaller brake package. Then I will step up to the higher spec model. I do not care if it includes 16" wheels.
