May not be a bad move to be honest..
With what Iāve seen from āpre-productionā photos of tailgate sag, panel lines and gaps not being even, and other bits Iām sure not being captured; waiting it out could give them time to work out these kinks.
This is also coming from a day 1 res. holder thatās...
Once the bug starts..you know the rest.
That's why I plan on enjoying stock for awhile and gauge what needs to be improved by ear.
Can't hammer a nail unless you got plywood! iono just made this up
Think you may have missed the bit where we both mentioned long term.

Automatic
Manual

Hundreds, if not thousands of examples like this if you go on enthusiast driven websites.
Well said!
*I definitely agree w/ all your points except this one; to a certain extent*
In the short-term this may be true for sure (to the avg consumer), but if the second hand market is flooded with 4 doors; the 2 door (especially manual) will be rarer and sought after as die hard enthusiasts...

People here who are shittinā on Base have no idea what the Base offering is about and frankly; just donāt get it.
