Subaru dun goofed: what steering wheel controls?

I was just performing my quarterly re-certification tests for Subaru and I came across this little screw-up in their test:



What steering wheel controls are you referring to, Subaru? What controls would those be? Oh, you mean the ones you DIDN'T give us?




Actually, I really don't care all that much. I just thought it was funny.

Yep. They always have a few goofs in there. We all know the "right" answers but it's tricky to try and find the one they want you to give.

Ninja edit: Are they preparing us for the 2014MY BRZ controls? Prolly not but we can still hope.

I wasn't aware that spending time on a forum was ever not wasted time... Also, I have no idea who Nurse Ratchet is.

Just watch "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with Jack Nicholson, and you will fully understand who Nurse Ratchet is.........

So Sorry. I misspelled the name. It is Nurse Rached. The bad, bad, nurse in the 1975 film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. The actress , Louise Flethcher won an academy award for Best Actress. The film also starred Jack Nicholson.

Some posts are worth reading, other's not. This one may not be worth reading.

When they showed the Aha radio thing at the 2012 CES, the pre-production BRZ they demoed it in had controls on the wheel. There's at least one lurking out there somewhere...

Oh, I know who Nurse Ratched is, that was a great movie! Great book too, of course.
