All water under the bridge at this point. :happy0180:

BTW, the point of the thread was to not make the Nav standard on the premium, but rather add to what the BRZ already had over the FR-S.

I'd say the only difference between the premium and limited should be nav, spoiler, push start, and heated seats. Meaning the premium would have leather/alcantara, and DZCC among the other things the FR-S doesn't and that will still justify the price difference.

This. In addition to maybe the 18 wheels on the limited. I think the nav is a "luxury" item that should only be standard on the limited and maybe offered as an option to those interested in the premium. However the nice sports seats should be standard on the premium as that will actually increase the driving experience in the premium model. Nav just seems like a big waste of money, especially since most have a hand held nav and/or smart phone to use.

I also like the standard bluetooth and having a large screen on the premium as well for ipod navigation. I dunno, I think the Sti seat cover is nowhere near as grippy as the normal wrx seat covering. Whatever floats your boat though, 2-3 grand more really isn't that much, if a 3 grand difference is going to break you, then one should not even be spending 25k on a car. Opinion only...

That is over 10% more. For some people that is too much. Especially when you include tax on top of that. I think for the most part, the premium might be the more popular option instead of the limited.

Maybe so, but there is a difference between not being able to afford the upgrade and just feeling like the upgrade is not worh it and going for the base. A car forum is not the place for finanfial advice, but there is a difference. I personally feel, for me anyway, the upgrade offers no extra vale as I stated earlier, I want nav but hate subaru sti leather/suede. YMMV

I agree that the limited doesn't provide much on top of the premium that I would be interested in and wouldn't spend the money. I was just stating the $2-3k extra could be too much for a buyer that could still pull off the $25k.

Here's my take on it:

Scion FR-S:
*All cloth seats
*Scion/Pioneer radio [bluetooth streaming, USB, Aux, CD, HD radio]
*Halogen headlights

Subaru BRZ "Premium" [as in, Premium over the FR-S]
*Half alcantara/leather bolster seats
*Subaru branded radio w/same features
*HID headlights
*foglights
*Dual zone climate control
*Push button start/proximity entry

Subaru BRZ "Limited" adds
*Full leather & heated seats
*padded/stitched center console and door speaker panels
*Navigation infotainment system
*trunk spoiler

These are just my guesses/hopes and bear no resemblance to reality. They would however improve my chances of buying the BRZ over the FR-S.

I like how you think Ryephile lol.

That would work for me.

I don't think full leather even exists for this car though.. we've never seen it.
