Basically the VIP program works as that Subaru will pay that 2% difference to the dealership (or that's how I understand it). So the dealer really has no loss.

No loss in one way, thousands of dollars loss in another. Yes, they will get that 2% back but they do lose the thousand+ between invoice and MSRP, in additional to any "regional adjustments" and other mark ups I fear Subaru dealers will be placing on this car. When the STI came out if they had accepted VIP program pricing they would have lost 5-6k per sale easily compared to selling them to the customers who didn't use the VIP program.
I'd guess that, unless you have a really good relationship with your dealer, that the VIP program won't be accepted. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try.. I'll be trying.
