I know it's minimal, but did anyone else notice the other slight differences between premium and limited?

Dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors
Front door courtesy lights

I was only aware of the major stuff but I feel it's kinda cool getting a little bit more features (if you would call them that)

Now to hope SoNE doesn't inflate the price more than $300 or I'm gonna get pissed! And now all I have to do is wait for the actual cars!!!

Good stuff. Wish I had the money to get one asap, but I'm in no rush as I don't need another car at the moment. Saving my pennies though.

As these prices keep getting put out and trim I'm at the point of " the test drive will decide"
I've been eyeballing this car Ever since the first concept car was released and got more into it thanks the GT5 so the test drive will tell me either BRZ or Genesis R-spec.
Can't wait to test drive it though its a new car and I want in haha!

It's still a $1315 difference when you include dest charges. So if the OEM Nav and HIDs aren't a big deal, you can put that towards exhaust, suspension, rims/tires, or different Nav, etc... The FR-S is the stripper version of the BRZ essentially.

Contacted my Subaru and Scion rep to get out the door pricing. We'll see what they say...

No, DRLs are not mandatory in the US. And THANK GOD, I hate the f*ckers

Headlights, Nav, bluetooth and fake vents won't make the car lighter, or drive any better. I'm not partial to either Scion or Subaru, but I know I won't be paying more than $24,930 for either.

Not bad. It could've been worst. I find the pricing for the premium spot on but the limited slightly high. It's almost as if there's no discount for getting all the limited extras from the factory vs. getting them tacked on individually. The spoiler, keyless start, heated seats, foglights... and everything else the limited comes with probably adds up to exactly 2000.
Still, I'm not disappointed.
