I've noticed Subaru includes that feature on their "performance" cars. I think it's one of the most overlooked (and awesome) features because it acts like a computer POST to make sure everything's running A-OK. Makes you feel like you're starting up a fighter jet or a performance-oriented piece of machinery.

"This is (K), all systems are 'go'. Preparing for take-off...to the supermarket. For juice and waffles."

I have it on my first generation TC. Personali I don't find it that interesting kinda annoying...

Sweet! Thanks for posting. Love the Asphalt color, that was on my short list and it looks great in the photos I've seen.

It's definitely a personal preference thing. The previous generation LGT has a nice sweep; it's all over the place.

yea, it's a common feature nowadays... my moms outback has them, haha

Our '12 Impreza does this. So it isn't just their "performance" cars. But I agree, I like it.

And "Smart Stp Tech (SST)".
I wonder if that's only for the ones with auto trans.
I'm getting manual trans and I don't really like to have SST.

I remember reading somewhere on here that SST can be disabled as well as TC and another electronic do-hickey

That's probably exactly what it's referring to. Here's a pic I took of the rear I took at the Chicago Auto Show. You can see the heat strip defogger.

I know it is personal preference, but I think the car looks better without them. Plus, most factory fogs are quite useless. If you really like the look, I'm sure you could buy the BRZ Limited to install or some aftermarket fog kit.

In regards to the fogs, I always thought they resembled the new Camry XLE fog lights. Food for thought.

They are pretty useless i'll definitely agree on that. I just have a hard time staring at the empty space! But considering there is day time runners there i suppose it wont be much of a big deal i could always buy aftermarket and mount them anyway or LED's

eh? Just kidding i think LED's is seriously overdoing it.

Wow. I definitely need to get out of the cave once in a while.
