That's just Subaru marketing-speak. I believe Limited is the top-line model across their lineup. Premium is likely to differentiate from the Scion version.

Though they developed the cars together, these two will be at war on the showrooms.

Cheers,

that doesnt make sense to me. but 24k for the mid level FRS/BRZ sounds good

Limited is top of the line for Subaru. My Forester limited has stuff like leather, AUX jack, fog lights, and other stuff over the premium model. Maybe the huge moon roof too.

Aux jack is a limited feature? Lol

I thought limited features were things like.. seat warmers for your butt. Window heaters. Leather seats, shift knob, wheel. Sun roof. Navi and some other random features that add weight. lol

wait so if the premium is 24k and the limited is 27k.... will there be a base price?

Subaru is really behind with tech features, trust me. Forgot about the seat warmers, it basically has everything but Navi.

Bleh. Navi easily cuts 1k off the price. *currently browsing subaru site*

lol

I'm curious to know what "premium" has. Especially the tach.

You need to understand that a Magazine editor is not a first person source... A first person source for example, is the window sticker.

So its safe to say he can be mistaken as much as anyone. We've seen a significant amount of fact errors just this week!

Its impossible to trust anything at this point until the actual pricing and full specs in the form of service manuals are released.

And the MPG can't even be confirmed until the EPA tests the car for certification...

The base model is a Scion. Subies start at $24k.

Sorry, I didn't realize window stickers were people. Where did you get your Journalism degree again?

Base = FRS. I think thats the point of separating the two.

A first person source would be you staring at the window sticker.

In the case of vehicle pricing, unless you are talking to the person physically in charge of generating such numbers, it still might not be accurate. That number can fluctuate right up to the moment they certify the numbers. And with the fluctuations in the Yen right now, anything could happen...

With Subaru, we don't see the actual pricing until a couple months before the cars hit the lots. That information is distributed by their internal website rather quickly, and thats when we will know exactly whats what with how much everything is going to cost.
