I'm wondering this as well... I don't see how it would benefit a daily driver as I would guess speed would need to be high for it to actually provide the extra downforce. I guess this is for track day users?

I'm with you. I've had a homelink on my car for the past six years and although it's convenient, I'm fascinated by that JDM frameless review mirror.

That will cover up the 'trunk lock' button that's on the driver's side of the trunk then.

Instead of HomeLink I'll probably go with a Flash2Pass option. I've been wanting to install it on my Honda 919 and this seems like a good opportunity to switch the garage fleet over to it.

for those wanting steering wheel controls....Leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel with integrated cruise controls and red stitching.

sounds like it will have cruise on the wheel?

I find it is a little sleazy of Subaru to STILL not have pictures of the premium interior on their damn site.

It was common knowledge that the usual Toyota cruise control know is on the wheel (behind to the right). What everyone was debating was the music controls and the cruise control visible on the front of the wheell. So, nothing new here.

Hmm. I'm not sure then. Maybe the rep showed me a picture of something else. Who knows?

I don't know if this has already been said, but there is also an option to Schedule a test drive on the Subaru website.

It should help clean up airflow in the rear as opposed to it becoming turbulent through the exhaust system. Big benefit? Not for most people. I'm getting it for looks, because I think it makes the rear look more "finished"

I guarantee you that's a copy-and-paste thing from their other car formats. Meaning it's not true. We have that on our Audi website: "Schedule a test drive of the 2013 allroad today!" (except we're not getting any until October and they'll be pre-sold so you really can't drive one).

I love how the destination fee is a constantly changing number.
