You should at least try to special order one. I'm pretty much in the same boat. I really wanted the S but I don't think I would buy a new car in 2008 without side airbags and ABS.

I just don't understand Toyota. They expect a demand of people to pay $1200 more for a lip kit and tachometer but not expect those same people to want any common safety features...
