Thanks for sharing those interior pictures.

THIS! I'm dying to hear some impressions on the sound system.

Also, thank you Fortunate Few for the detailed pictures! Some of the most insightful pics I've seen yet. For example, I had never seen the cup holder in the doors till now.

None of that fakey USDM plastic crap that I keep seeing in ppl's cars... Like, if I punch any part of the inside of my prelude, my fist is cushioned everywhere except the stereo or the windows hahaha, and the steering wheel lolz.

Yeah my Integras are the same way. Everything is padded except for the center console area (hvac, head unit, etc). I've never understood why companies don't do that as well as Honda used to, it feels so much better than hard plastics.

And great photos! Fortunate thank you so sharing! Love the detailed pictures.

Stop posting pictures of the SWP. It will only confuse me more and second guess myself.

Quick question to the guys who sat in the car @Cali: is headliner made of typical Subaru mousefur present in STIs or a decent fabric material found in many cars these days?

I know it's going to be a cleaning maintence nightmare, but this color is just so right for me.

I was a detailer for 5 years. While Silver and white are easy on any car, luckily Subarus paint is rather hard, so it's pretty resilient and doesn't scratch too easily. When it does scratch though, a light buffing will take care of light scratches and swirls easily. Be grateful they're not using a super soft paint like the germans like to use.

Zaku · 02-21-2012, 11:16 AM

Hope we have a car care forum when the cars come out, I would love to learn how to take care of my paint to the optimum level, even if the color I have is the easiest.
