This is all going off the MT review (and maybe some others). The basic radio shown in the one PR shot was a JDM car. So far all pics of the USDM cars have shown a nav system.

The problem with losing the NAV on the Premium and dropping the price accordingly is that it will basically be the exact same car as the FR-S just with HIDs. That's a poor decision for SOA if they were to do that.

What I'd like to see instead is drop the Navi on the premium in exchange for the Alacantara/Leather heated seats. I'd but that premium. The auto climate control looks a lot nicer but in practice I prefer manual systems so I'm pretty indifferent there. Same with push to start, that's a take it or leave it for me. The foglights are basically going to be worthless (at least I've never seen factory foglights that were worth a damn) so the only benefit there is having the holes premade to connect brake ducts to

Alacantara seats would be >> than nav. I just don't want slippery leather seats. Alacantara seats with HIDs in premium with nav delete would be perfect.

As far as I know there are no actual leather seats. The Alacantara gets leather side bolsters, this is a good thing, alacantara bolsters wear a lot more than leather, although you do have to maintain leather more to keep it from cracking over time.. alacantara just looks shiny when it's dirty :P

do they even offer full leather seats? from what I've seen it's only partial. and for some odd reason I perfer the clothe seats, I had Alancantra before too it's nice. I just like Clothe. XD

Buggy51 · 12-03-2011, 01:51 PM

Out of curiosity what is the advantage of alacantara seats? More durable and comfortable?

Zaku · 12-03-2011, 01:54 PM

well you don't slide as much you kinda just stick there where you sit, um it's easier to clean then leather and it doesn't get cold or heat up depending on the weather. it's comfortable too..

DuMa · 12-03-2011, 02:00 PM

alacantra/suede is like the perfect compromise between leather and cloth

I meant comparing to regular premium's cloth seats lol.

I think it's main flaw is staining. (Watched a dude ready to tear a tireshop owners head off when one of the workers got grease on his RS4's grey alcantara!)

It will wear if not properly treated but that happens to other options as well.

Zaku · 12-03-2011, 02:14 PM

But dirt gets stuck in clothe seats easily.... espicially the mesh type like the 370z or the newer Econ Honda. It's quiet annoying and yeah... you need to take care of alacantra

Sigh lol, guess nothing is that easy to take care of. Thanks for the answers though.

Subaru Legacy nav is a $2000 option
Subaru WRX nav is a $1000 option
Subaru Forester nav is a $1000 option

More and more that I think about it, the less I want the nav standard equipment in the premium. Give us the nice seats instead please.
