The seats in my 2007 Leagacy spec.B are just like these. Leather trim with Alcantara seating surfaces. The driver's seat is a little worn on the outside bolster, but the previous owner didn't take care of the car very well. I think some normal care with a good leather conditioner should keep the trim looking good.

Because we're too big of a market to risk it on. They don't think we like cars like that.

3) Hopefully the power outlet location on the central tunnel will not be an issue for those running portable automobile navigation units.
I usually semi-hardwire GPS units and such that I use often because I don't like dangling cords. I just splice in another 12v socket behind the console and run the wires behind.

Those who don't want to do that can use the socket in the glove box and just close the door on the wire.

Same. I can't wait to play with this thing.

FR-S doesn't get it, but also doesn't gain a socket up front. And very often OEM GPS systems suck, especially compared to Google Maps on most Android phones.

Alternative is to make sure you get a GPS that charges via USB port, that should resolve it.

Ah, forgot about that.

I wonder what wattage that port handles. I know my phone needs a pretty hefty charger if I want to listen to music and use the GPS at the same time. And the drain would get even worse if the Bluetooth transponder is active too.

I think Gran Turismo has a timed exclusive on all FT-86 models, those bastards.

Is this a pre-production vehicle?

It seems like its a limited without the navi. Also the jdm stitching is present on the arm rest area.

Nicely done, especially the interior panoramic view.

Also, I've noticed the leather in the BRZs doesn't look to be fitted very well. You can tell from the way it looks a bit off/wrinkled around the curves. Not sure yet which trim to opt for.

It's an EDM model. Differences between this and US Limited trim are
-No nav
-Leather trim on the knee pad areas
-HID auto-levelling
-HID spray washers
-speedometer in kmh
-not sure about the floor mats
