I know that those of us who have FiST's with the Recaro seat option and no Sunroof /Navi are called "Unicorns". So I would guess that would make a gathering of that version a "Blessing".
So, if I've got Recaros, NAV, and the factory stripes, but no sunroof am I still driving a unicorn? (Side note: the only other FiSTs I've seen with the factory stripes were the other 4 at Worthington Ford in Long Beach when I bought mine)

No Sunroof or Navi. But with Recaro seat option. Anyone can add a stripe to the car at a trim shop. Very few FiST were ordered for dealer inventory with only one almost two grand option. There's no good profit margin in that. Plus, the window sticker looks rather strange with just the one option line. Because of the much higher price for the Fiesta ST in Canada, I believe that is the reason why they made Recaro seats standard for the Canucks was to improve the perceived value of the much higher price point. My postulation.
I don't think that just Navi and Recaro is unusual. Many people consider a sunroof to be a deal killer.

Does it still count as a Unicorn if I swapped in Recaros in place of my cloth seats? 😅

I had to order my base car into the dealer, as NONE within 150 miles of me had anything but fully loaded, BLACK cars in stock at that time. [:(]

Yup. Very much the same story in my region. Color choices on hand were black or optional colors at extra cost. But none of them were Recaro only. So, even color preference flexibility wouldn't have put me in a Fiesta ST with just the seats. I thought that was pretty strange at the time.
I wonder how many sales were lost because of the monochrome color choices on hand and the all or nothing option level of so many stock units.

Sounds like you unicorns need the bumper sticker I bought on Aliexpress. That's where I got the Turbo Warning bumper sticker that is in my avatar...

Fair. I really should have waited and ordered a '16 with Sync 3, Recaros, and nothing else aside from maybe the painted calipers. I've never used the NAV because I have a mount for my phone and Google Maps, but now Ford is asking for $175 to update it.

If you had ordered a 16 early in the build you would have been given the painted calipers! Because they screwed up the build work orders for the newly standard Rado gray wheels and built several hundred Fiesta ST with painted calipers at no upcharge. I have that version. I would have preferred to find $250 bucks under a floor mat.
