I am surprised no one caught the 7,5K redline...

Since it actually seems to be the Modellista/options/accessories brochure and not the Toyota production one we have to assume at least part of what is shown is NOT stock on the car, including that alcantara auto shifter and probably the alcantara on the manual cars too, I'm assuming that's what they are trying to show in those (red/black suede options through modellista). Hopefully at least those seats are stock in suede (and black centers)!! And hopefully the white tach they show off is not stock either, I greatly prefer the race cars all black gauges.

Also, as stated I'm sure we won't get all of those bits.. I really hope for the seats though :P

Cause same thing happened with the type r

That would make me incredibly happy. As long as we don't have red as the only option. I just HATE red interiors.

I'd assume that the production steering wheel wasn't ready/available when they did this photoshoot. There will be a logo on the wheel, I can't believe they'd release it like that considering the attention to other details.

It's the same as the race car pics posted weeks ago, I'm pretty sure everyone has accepted that by now.. technically red line at 7,400..

Uh oh. I hope we don't get those seats. Do you see that crazy forward rake on the headrests? I had to sell my Impreza because of that. I drive with the seatback relatively straight, same as in the picture. That forced my head and neck forward into a downward angle. Made my neck hurt after about ten minutes.

I realize that it's a safety measure for people who drive with a 'gangsta lean,' but it punishes those that want to use their seats normally. As crazy as it sounds, I will not repeat my Impreza mistake and will not buy the car if it has those headrests and they are not two-way adjustable.

Audi now does the same thing for their US A4 seats which makes them super uncomfortable. Fortunately the actual design is two-way and they only insert plastic tabs to take away tilt for the US. So you can pop those tabs out and have a proper two-way headrest.

Stupid lawyers and the stupid designs they force!

I'm just hoping they don't widen the seats for the US market like the S2000 and WRX.

Also notice how high the center console sits. Which can mean only good things...

Wow Dave with all due restecp (alig) you are one boringly opinionated person :p

Did anyone else notice the big flat panel above the cd/climate. I didn't read the whole thread, don't have time, but thoughts?
I'm gonna say its there to be easily removable and do you can put gauges in

Is there a stereo at all?

That blank space above the HVAC looks like a DIN space. I really hope that's the case.

I really hope Modellista put a lot of stuff on that car, because it looks gaudy as hell. I don't like the entire body kit, any of the red interior items (except the stitching), the white tach, the black plastic thing on the dash (either side of the radio location), the (probably) fake carbon fiber trim around the radio, the crap on the doors, the altezza style tail lights, the wheels, or the logo behind the vent on the front quarter panel.

Overall I'm not getting a good vibe on the interior. It's not very classic looking imo. It may be minimalistic on features, but someone clearly tried to "style" it, and was only half way done when they stopped.

Based on looks, I don't think this is going too high on the cool wall.

Anyone think the same, or is it just me?

[JDMluv]

the interior looks acceptable except for the center console and steering wheel!! if i will put my Pepsi in the center console where the heck i will put my hands!!!

the steering wheel looks like it copied from a 06 mustang.. a rubbish design!!
