You always have the option to spec up your car to look the way you'd like, and in this case, it's not much of a cost premium versus, say, a sport package-equipped model.
They can capitalize on both demographics by increasing the margin of conservative vs. radical styling options.

Or people don't want to spend $3k for M-sport on a $30k car.
