When I bought mine, there was no Series.Blue.

I bought the Limited because, compared to the Premium, the head unit was better, the seat material was better, the climate controls were better and the keyless everything is really cool. I like never having to take my keys out of my pocket to open or start anything on the car a lot more than I thought I would. I also really like the wing on the Limited. The Premium's bare rear reminds me of the way a dog's ass looks when it tucks its tail between its legs and runs away yelping. The seat warmers were not a factor, but they might have been if I lived in a cold climate.

I personally would not buy the Series.Blue because I think the body package looks stupid, especially the lip. But then, I think lips look stupid on this car in general. I also don't care for the blue stitching in the interior, no matter how "special" it is. I do like the STI rims, but not as much as my RPF1s, so they really make no difference. The only thing on the Blue that I wish I had on my Limited are the underbody panels, but that's something nobody ever sees, and I'm already planning to buy them for $200 and put them on my car myself after the first of the year.

I can't really see paying extra for the Series.Blue for things I don't really like when I can get what I do like about it for $200. And I really don't think the fact that it's a limited edition is going to make much of a difference in the resale value.

Now, if the Series.Blue had been a special edition 400 horsepower version of the car set up as a sleeper that didn't really look different unless you knew what to look for, THAT I would be willing to trade in for.
