SOA please.......
 
Please consider not making nav standard in the BRZ premium. Rather put HIDs standard. The nav adds no performance or safety, however the HIDs would provide a degree of better visability at night. The price difference should be a wash. Thanks.

I agree 100%, but they won't read this and we don't know for sure if those options are the real deal until we hear them direct from SOA.

Who knows maybe subaru is here too, I mean we know Scion lurks here...heck I bet they get alot of Info from us were one of the biggest if not the biggest community for Ft86 related stuff out there. Hope that they do listen and lower the price for no nav

Please have a wing delete for the Limited.

+1 on NO nav also.

Will there be any colors except black on the interior?

+2 on no nav.

And you can't say Scion or Subaru won't listen.

I'm sure their PR is somewhere on this forum. Creepin'.

They might not but who knows. Might as well let them know how we feel. Might not make a difference in the end, but at least we said something.

Haven't seen any pics or heard anything about another color. I personally think black is great for this car.

The other question for those interested in this car should also be who's handling the stereo components in this car? If it's Subaru, you guys will be swapping that out within a month. They have yet to this day have a decent stereo in any of their vehicles lol.

But I would agree that HID > Nav. Especially considering that most people's smartphones these days have nav built into them. Unless it's Nissan or Ford's new Nav set up, they look fantastic, then I'd want both.

Mt says hid is standard on all. I want nav as on option on both trims instead on standard.

tranzformer 12-03-2011 01:38 PM

I said this in another post but I feel it is appropriate here as well. If Subaru is set at selling the premium for $24k then sure throw the nav in if a nav delete won't drop the price. BRZ w/ nav @$24k >>>> BRZ w/o nav @$24k. But to me HIDs>>>>> nav. I know Subaru doesn't want to encroach on Scion pricing.

Thanks I must have missed that in my reading. But I would still take a $24k BRZ with nav than a $24k BRZ without. :)

I sure hope the Scion is priced around 21K and not somthing dumb like 23K if it's 23k then people will prolly just pay extra for a BRZ. And yeah I mean if the price isn't gonna change then just take the darn nav lol

Where was it announced that the premium will come with the Nav? I saw shots with a radio too? Personally I'd like to have it blank.

Go look at the MT review and the radio Shot is the Japanese Variant.

Same price, I'd take the Nav. It will be worth more on ebay. I doubt anyone would really take the non-nav without a price drop because the non nav radio will be basically worthless but I'm sure some people would like to upgrade to the nav system so ebay will be good for the nav.. until the market is flooded :)

The problem with losing the NAV on the Premium and dropping the price accordingly is that it will basically be the exact same car as the FR-S just with HIDs. That's a poor decision for SOA if they were to do that.

What I'd like to see instead is drop the Navi on the premium in exchange for the Alacantara/Leather heated seats. I'd but that premium. The auto climate control looks a lot nicer but in practice I prefer manual systems so I'm pretty indifferent there. Same with push to start, that's a take it or leave it for me. The foglights are basically going to be worthless (at least I've never seen factory foglights that were worth a damn) so the only benefit there is having the holes premade to connect brake ducts to :)
