What are you talking about, the base model of most vehicles now come with the same equipment a loaded model had a couple decades ago. A Corolla now comes standard with cabin filter, backup camera, bluetooth, automatic lights, bajillion input touchscreen stereo, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, exterior temp, radar cruise control, and a truckload of airbags. Aside from A/C all the stuff you can add with higher trim levels or option packages is a lot less useful.
Maybe other manufacturers are different but I remember when the base model had manual locks, mirrors, windows, maybe a cassette deck and nothing else.
