^I assume you can ignore Japan's "Base" grade if you are purchasing in the US. We should only see 2 trims: Premium (equals Standard in Japan) and Limited (equals Premium in Japan). Anyone disagree?

And it looks like Japan's Standard and below grades do not get dual climate control? What do the controls for that look like (I don't remember)?

What? It probably has something like 6-8...side curtains, side (probably pops from seat), front.

And @switchlanez yea I guess but I like how the stripper version has cheapo wheels, and no radio :/ Maybe the STI will have no radio option.

Oh wait I'm being a tard, there is a radio delete option. But if it doesn't save money, then it's pointless right?

Do the charts say something about top speed and acceleration?

Based on the ratios in the chart, it should hit 61MPH in Second gear @ 7500RPM with the manual gearbox......

6 speakers? Are they counting the two-way separates on the dash as one speaker? Or are there not any rear speakers?

Typical Toyota style is to count the 2 dash tweeters, the 2 door speakers and the 2 rear speakers mounted behind the head rests of the back sets.
Hence, 6 speakers.

Sube practice may differ, but this is my guess.

True, but in those models, there actually were only 6 speakers.

I wish the auto had better gearing. But it's not to bad versus the manual. I suspect a close acceleration between the two.

My calculation doesn't agree with that value. The ETRTO rolling circumference for a 215/45R17 tire is 1907mm according to here:
http://www.club80-90syncro.co.uk/Syn...calculator.htm
Even calculating for increased circumference at a speed of 100 km/hr for 215/45R17 87W here:
http://bndtechsource.ucoz.com/index/...alculator/0-20
Only increases the circumference to 1909.7mm. So my calculation for 2nd gear at 7500 RPM is:
1909.7/25.4/12*7500/(4.1*2.188)/88 = 59.5 MPH.
This value seems a bit too low for good 0-100 Km/hr. times unless the fuel cutoff is extended slightly in second gear. Given the 3.727 rear end ratio then 2nd gear reaches 65 MPH at the stated 7450 red-line: which seems higher than expected from some of the posted videos. I wonder what ratio Subaru will use in the US?
BTW I noticed that the gear ratios including the 4.1 rear end ratio are exactly as given in the GT-5 game as I posted here:

Sounds like 150mph could be possible when 6th gear is in optimal power rev range.
