Remote Engine Starter? Do they mean keyless start or a real remote engine start button on the fob? I highly doubt there would be a remote engine starter.

Man, I fell asleep with my young one and you guys are having all the fun... This was a great find guys... Loving this security feature on the limited...remote engine start...pretty cool.

Don't get hyped. Subaru has NEVER offered remote engine start on manual cars, since that's inherently risky. If this were true, it would be for the automatic only. We'd have heard by now, I think.

The prices are place holders I'm sure someone told him or her it's around 20k and around 25k that is why the price is so exact unlike other models

Yeah after looking it is legit. This happened with the Scion website. I'll probably watch over any changes. However, all I see them changing is proper options etc.

BRZ build page leaks after SCION announces First 86 winners' trips? I'm getting suspicious.

As the person who found this I really don't think it was an intentional leak. The only reason I came across it was because I did a pretty specific google search. When I ordered my BRZ yesterday the sales person mentioned it was PZEV (the 6AT Limited). So I did a google search for Subaru+BRZ+PZEV and it was in the top results. If it was intentional they were counting on some fool (me) doing a pretty random search.

you would be surprised to know just how well Google tracks, archives, and aggregates the world's information

i do hope we get most of the subaru options that apply to the brz. Carbon Fiber license plate frame

It's kind of creepy in a why. Makes me glad I don't use Chrome if that is in fact how this ended up in search results.

[maxeveland]

it also states that automatic and manual are both standard

well I guess this is still on topic

it's privacy issues that we face today. Google's ultimate goal is implanting a chip in your brain, so that when you think of a word you will instantly know every fact about it. Every action Google takes makes it one step closer to that dream. Right now even if you don't use Chrome there is still a way for Google to track you. Likewise you can also prevent it by knowing how to stop it. Should you worry? perhaps. No human is looking at your data only computers and Google tries to keep your information safe from others.
Using Google products are much like going to a Casino and getting free drinks. There are cameras watching you all the time, but do you? When will you start to care?

The fact that this website popped up in Google Search is a problem if it wasn't intended. the web developer can opt-out of Google scanning their website assuming he did. If it was found and scanned via Chrome, Gmail, or Docs while being opt-out it would have to be due to Google's new Privacy Act. Which combines all of it's information with each of it's services it provides into your Google+ profiles. Google doesn't care that you don't use Google+ over Facebook they only care that you make a profile and willingly fill out valuable information to create demographics.

with that said I personally use a lot of Google products including Chrome lol

it is a place holder. when it is clicked, it shows the msrp of $17,495. However, if you scroll down it shows BRZ Premium $20,000 and BRZ Limited $25,000.

hahaha

I saw the 17k number too. HOT CAKE PRICES!

[Homemade WRX]

I suspect the pricing is just a ballpark for the premium and limited. I woul expect to see like $20,895 and $25,967.

As stated probably just the place holder and put no faith in the literature on it.

[BR33ZY]

If it's $17K, I'll take two. Have a hard time deciding on color anyways.

[no_name]

If the Subaru ACTUALLY starts around 20k (say 22?) the FR-S is a slightly stripped out version and it would have start lower (say 21). REALLY HOPING. And 25/34? I like it.
