Yeah, I'm not haten, but people want what they want, and they perceive they need more stuff like AWD.
I'm just a less is more guy, and s28i takes off weight and complexity of the AWD which has had bearing problems. Sun roof is maybe a worse thing to not have since blows up on it's own.
I buy tires best in rain on the days I get caught out even though only 10 inches a year. Someone reading reviews and being picky could get their 2wd on winters and go anywhere instead of those crummy Noseason tires on AWD.
