that's it. I'm getting the limited. The center console just looks sooooo much better than every single other model. I guess I'll just live with the navi... would rather without though.

edit: Also, the steering wheel buttons. It looks like you can just ignore them if you want without much impact to driving at all. Just impacts the looks is all.

I think the buttons are ok. It is a necessary evil.

Since the premium and limited have the same stereo\Nav system, both will probably have the buttons.

Well the PHILA auto show has the BRZ as one of the cars that will be here. I will see if the car will be as accessible as this one posted and get some up close and real life view of this car. Looks like this car was driven to the show, its got splash marks on the bottom and on the exhaust pics. Maybe they will drive that one that was spotted on the Ben Franklin Bridge to the Phila show.

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.
I think you're right that we haven't seen a Premium yet. I don't think any of the BRZ pics have shown cloth seats yet. The pics in this thread definitely look like the completely fully loaded Limited.

It's nice, but for me I like the normal one lol yeah Normal or TRD for me.



And would you look at that Premium has no Buttons. Like hello hachi posted USDM spec pictures a month or so ago forgot already? Reviews were testing a USDM spec Premuim around a track and they've all said we drove a USDM spec Premium. As fae as the buttons are concern they could be optional who knows. But Im going to trust Hachi's INFo if hachi posted this Under USDM Premium it probably is cruise control is on a stick thing and not a button on the wheel.

Yeah that's the one I like, in my subjective opinion the duckbill fits the car more than a pedestal spoiler does. The REALLY tall pedestal spoiler that we saw on a Red FR-S made it look like a celica and the one on the BRZ looks kind of awkward.

No need to post in multiple threads, but based on the HVAC, I'm not sure that's a premium versas a preproduction car that was a limited.

I like it~ But I know parts are interchangeable. So probably purchase later down the road.


And premium still sounds like the car I'd choose. With some options.

That pic Zaku posted is probably a pre-production version. It has the push button and dual zone A/C which we know are limited options per the stand at the Detroit show.
