Also to note - push button start, no controls on steering wheel.
Caveat about the the no controls. If you look at the last picture, it merely states that this is the current available information since this brochure was published. Anything can be changed I guess at this point :/

I'm curious to see the climate control system of the Premium model. It should be the same as the FR-S but we haven't seen a single non-limited BRZ pic yet.

If you look at options on base WRX vs premium and limited you can see this is standard for Subaru.

Trust me, I did lol. This brochure mainly continues to dash my hopes. The only thing I can hope for is a slightly lower than expected price (which is also sorta slim)

Although now I feel like the premium model still has too many things I rather not pay for. Wellz in the end I guess it just depends on if the price is reasonable.

Hey giccin did you see that it comes with a short throw shifter!! Should be a while before you go aftermarket. :p

On another note I want to see what these "clothed" seats look like. They better not be horrible :/ and they still better come with red stitching.

Also looks like both premium and limited get the same 17inch wheels. One wheel style means more saved money for Subaru. Still makes me wonder why the stamp inside the door says 16 inch in that other thread

So it will balance out when the driver sits in the car.

really like the Grey color BRZ premium ... I typically like FOGs((I live in SF and its foggy))
but I think the BRZ looks better with-out the fog .. and the rear spoiler for that matter.

Less is More in my opinion ... it looks more Clean
