+1000. I like the idea of a proximity key but push to start is stupid IMO. HVAC and leather seats are whats pushing me to the limited. Also, the fog lights are meh since the premium gets led fogs.

I like the LED strips way more than the fog lights, so much that I'd almost rather not even have the round fogs on there.

On that subject, do we know if they will be controlled separately ? Anyway to tell based on interior pics of buttons, etc.

Agreed. No round fogs. Rather have a brake cooling duct.

It would be smart if they came on with the "C" shaped headlight halo's. From the pics that I've seen with both of them on it appears that they are color matched pretty well.

Yep agree...but can each one be on independently ?

Have you seen any pics of the premium with all the lights on?

Not with the fogs on too, just the Halo's and LED strips.

Based on the detailed pics we've seen so far, I'm going to assume that the Halos and LED strips turn on automatically when you turn the car on. Normally on Subarus the fog lights are controlled on the headlight/turn signal stalk. I'm willing to bet it will be the same way on this car.

that would work too.

one thing i forgot to mention is that the slots in the car goes much deeper. i didnt push my iphone case all the way in for demostration.

some android may fit in diagonally. however, phones like Samsung Galaxy II will not fit in it at all. i would recommend a independent cellphone holder for that.

If it's not in the way I'll probably just toss my phone into the cup holder.
