Just what is a "standard option"?

Seems to me equipment is either standard or optional.

Many models that are priced lowest on the model chain, do not come with equipment we have come to expect as standard features, in order to bring folks into the showroom with a model advertised at a very low price. These are usually the vehicles you see advertised in the Sunday papers at prices that look too good to be true. It is a case of you get what you pay for, and if you want those features, you pay more.
