The recaro seats are my favorite part of the tS.

Good Grief! STILL no elbow rest for the shifting arm?

You mean something like an s20x? They just never brought it here.

The motorized wing will become douchebag when it's busted staying up and won't retract anymore.

I'd be surprised if those seats came. Subaru has offered amazing seats before and never ever to america. While it would be nice i'd say no possibility.

Not a hope in hell they will use it in the BRZ though.
If there is ever a 2nd gen BRZ (big if) I could see them using an NA version of the FA24DIT.

I doubt the engine would have a significantly different footprint or weight, but incremental weight increases from beefed up driveline components, brakes, etc may kill it.

Kind of let down on the interior. Just a bunch of red accents randomly thrown everywhere. Would have much rather had something more similar to the ones in Japan.

I like the rest of the car though

So just the recaros then haha. It's the only difference really. It's not like the Japanese interior had additional trims or anything

Wasn't as much red on the doors or steering wheel on the JDM model either. The random trims make it look like a toddler had a field day with a red marker on the interior lol.

I'd be cool with some red on the seats and door armrests, but that's pretty much it. Would rather just have red stitching. Not a big deal though since all that stuff can easily be swapped. I'm just voicing my complaints lol
