Yeah that's still a pic of the limited. It has the spoiler, fogs, push start, dual hvac. I think they recently decided to add the buttons on the wheel but that steering wheel from the preproduction looks so much better without all the clutter.

I will be the first to volunteer the steering wheel from my FR-S if someone really wants the plain steering wheel...

The design is rather funky (or cluttered) but looks pretty functional.

I think the most common problem BRZ Limited owners will have will be making phone calls at corner entry and hanging up inadvertently at corner exit.

LOL the new version of butt-dialing? That'd actually make me want to keep the wheel just to have the humorous voicemails get forwarded back to me :P

Yeah, and all you hear is laughter or cursing if you really FUBAR your BRZ

My brother called me from his Range Rover right after he bought it and didn't know how he called out (the bright GREEN phone emblem on the wheel) and he asked me to hang up on him. He was pretty embarrassed because he is supposedly tech-savvy.

Should you not rubber coat the car if you live in a snow area?

Maybe it's the same car that was spotted in the Tristate area and they shipped it out to the show.

It's on any car without a guard of some sort there, so I agree. You only see it if you are on the ground or under the car and I'd rather have that then chips and rust from debris being kicked up by the tire

We lost the "frameless" mirror too it looks like.

I can't really figure out any reason for that change.

It is functional. It brings the drag coefficient down by one point according to Subaru.
