I'm finding the rear deck spoiler rather ugly for my tastes.

Just to screw all of you who want a WRB Premium.. WRB is only available on the Limited trim.

J/K. Maybe.. who knows.. I wouldn't be surprised with how I keep getting annoyed at these little things like the fugly (and IMO pointless) steering wheel buttons.

Technically there is no evidence that the steering wheel buttons won't be on the premium. We haven't seen a premium yet.. ever. As far as I can recall anyways. They probably tacked on the ugly things because of people on here wanting them (ok not really, that was more a joke on the whole 'if we show interest with the first 86 program they'll raise the price!!!' commentary).

I'd assume WRB will be on both trims lol.. but the steering wheel buttons were not mentioned as a limited feature specifically.. soo.. they really may be on both.

They put it in the bottom of a CLOSED center console.

I'll probably remove the console and route an extension USB cable through there. Easy enough, but should have been thought about beforehand.
This. I've said it in the audio/entertainment subforum before. The perfectly useful space right next to the AUX/USB inputs where your phone/iPod would go gets cut down to the size of a pack of gum with the useless pushbutton start jammed in there. Great design, guys.

Good point.

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense than having an easily accessible DC connector. How about for phone chargers? Air compressors? Wire them all straight to the car, right?

I'm sure the DC plug (at least one of them) is in the center console.

And for a radar detector hard wiring it makes a ton more sense IMO. You can run the wiring so it's much more hidden and it stays out of the way. I hate having wires running in front of the dash, it just annoys me.

For everything else, use the one in the center console. They won't sell a car without a 12v outlet. Or use the USB to charge your phone (I won't argue about it's location, I hate that location. I'd greatly prefer it to be hidden in a center console)

I seem to be the only person that isn't offended by the buttons on the wheel.

To me its considered a small problem. I rather deal with small problems but I hope the engine isn't considered a big problem in its torque delivery. A big problem means no sale from me.

I miss not having buttons on the steering wheel in my current car, so if they make this an option for the premium version that would great.
