You used to be able to custom order a VW or Honda to get around the
stupid configurations.

For the VW, this has the added advantage of getting you a German-made
unit because their plant in S.A. didn't do custom work.

I'd definitely want something besides the standard packages if I got
either a Honda or a VW.

The VW in particular adds too much cruft just to get simple things, and
some of it also adds a lot of weight.
