However there are some drawbacks:

1) The Toyota badge and fact I'll have to go to a Toyota dealer. I've been accustomed to luxury brands and dealerships my entire life
2) Wind buffeting issues. I always drive with my windows open unless I'm on the highway
3) Lack of sunroof option

These will probably be deal killers for me.
Wind buffeting issue can be fixed with a simple attachment to the mirror post, similar to like what people have to do with some Porsche's.
