Why do you consider it "unreasonable" that ESIX doesn't sell upgrade
package X, Y or Z?  Does the fact that these packages are sold by a
competing vendor -- whose product costs hundreds of dollars more --
mean that ESIX must also sell them?  As far as I'm concerned, ESIX
works as advertised.  They never claimed certain upgrade paths
existed (in fact, it was pointed out that they *didn't* exist), and I
planned my ESIX purchase accordingly.

I don't think it's "reasonable" to expect Porsche performance and
options at a Toyota price.
