Which just goes to show that even Subaru can't be trusted until the car is on the lot, in the flesh.
Well, in the steel.
Oh, and aluminum.
Better not forget plastic and glass as well.

Bet the marketing materials have fine print someplace that says "product may not be exactly as shown"

I thought the MY17s are heated mirrors... I know mine is. I actually just found out last week. Leaving my apt in the morning for work. My windows were all fog'd up. So I turned on the defogger, then I tried wiping the driver side side mirror and it was very warm.

Although, I do like the welcoming light and one touch turn signal.. D'AH!

The MY17 Limited has heated mirrors.

I agree about the one touch turn, maybe it will be a relay we can buy from Subaru.

TapTurn gets you both features, and then some.

They probably mean on the premium model, my 13 limited (purchased in 12) has them too.

SmartTap is $30-50 cheaper with the same features, but has a 3 year warranty vs. lifetime with TapTurn. Still haven't decided which to go with. Not sure they fail enough to spend the extra money.

hmmm for someone that doesnt care about carplay or android auto, I think the '17 might save me a decent chunk. One touch turn and welcome lighting are also things I could live without.

Yeah well, "big" corporate vs first to market feature innovator. I really hope it's licensed.

Has anyone heard of when dealers will be able to put tS orders into their system?

i totally forgot about this. and i want one haha... doesn't it allow welcoming lights too? or was that another maker. I remember seeing it.

Cause I know when I get near my brz, my interior lights turns on. I swear all these MY18 features exists in the current models... just a simple relay can turn them all on. Cept heated mirror though, mine has it haha.

Interior lights are default on all m/y as far as I know. Certainly my 2014 had that feature. That's different than the approach lights, and yes - TapTurn will turn on the side markers and such on approach, and has one-touch-turn, which sounds like the added 2018 features.

Also lets you run all LED bulbs (possibly inherent in the 17+) and gives you wigwag, strobe, and other odd/interesting/useless/fun/showy light features. The afore-mentioned SmartTap seems to have all the same features, just a lot newer to the market (and unsure whether it's an illegitimate clone or not.)

I remember before the 2018 STIs came out there was already a leaked document showing the invoice cost of not only all the trim levels, but also, I believe, the various accessories. This allowed people to make a more informed decision when buying the car. Does something like this typically get released for the BRZs as well?
