I thought of another way to look at it. I don't have a badge on my car to advertise that I spent $500 on the 2TB sport auto or $1450 for leather - why would I care to have a badge on my car to advertise I spent $4600 on an additional 60 hp? By not having an Active Cruise Control badge will people think I'm trying to hide the fact that I didn't spring $2400 for that option?

(Above scenario for illustrative purposes only, since I actually got the 2.0T. The inline six for $4600 wasn't worth it to me, just like AAC for $2400 wasn't worth it to me either.)
