Never seen that product before. I've had that in my cars for the past 8 years, but a DIY version. It cost all of nothing to make yourself.

You just have to lightly modify one of your openers. Solder a wire across the switch so it's as if the button is always pushed. Remove the battery and solder wires to the contacts where the 12v battery goes so they exit the case. Then, attach those wires to the high beam wire up near the headlamp. Now, anytime you turn on the high beams the opener is also activated and your door opens. I've been using the same opener for 8 years now with no problems, this is a great mod!

Here's a link to Modifry's site where I got these instructions so long ago.

Subaru's press release stipulated pricing may change, so you're SOL and that's exactly what the dealer will say. Maybe they'll goodwill that $25-30, but it's $25-30.

+1

I keep getting auto generated emails from the Subaru Stealerships I've asked about the BRZ telling me 1) that I can get a test drive and 2) thanks for my inquiry on all wheel drive vehicles. Even the music they play when I'm on hold talks about how great it is that Subaru only makes all wheel drive vehicles.

Subaru, did you get the memo?

Nice! Is there a picture?

I agree. It doesn't look all that great (not bad, but nothing that noticeably spices up the rear end) and likely will have little aerodynamic effect that you would notice. Save the $750 and put it toward the down payment.

I wonder how long will it take for Auto Costco and TrueCar to catch up.

I guarantee you that's a copy-and-paste thing from their other car formats. Meaning it's not true. We have that on our Audi website: "Schedule a test drive of the 2013 allroad today!" (except we're not getting any until October and they'll be pre-sold so you really can't drive one).
Though that's possible, they're promoting it at the bottom of the "What's New" section so if you wouldn't be able to test drive I don't know why they'd do that?

Comparison page shows that they are "Not Available" on the Premium trim, BUT it shows that the KIT is available as an accessory. Except the accessory can't be selected and neither could dealers.

That'd be a biatch (Yes, pun intended) to keep in the trunk of the BRZ or any other car for that matter! But since Subaru is all about the dogs, I must agree!
