I'm just as guilty as the next guy, but damn this thread is becoming a circle jerk.

I'll join the fun.

I'll be getting a limited if it's around 27k and then proceed to swap out the trunk with a premium BRZ owner and maybe some cash on the side. I may also take out the NAVI and sell it to an FR-S owner. This way I can have the DZCC, wingless, leather/alcantara, and push start without things that I don't want.

This is called the "Premium" package for a reason. If you want no nav get the Scion, the "Base" package.

Soooo, if you don't want navi you should also not want Subi styling, HID/LED, Subi exclusive colors, and just settle for a Scion?

NAVIs have always been a feature on the highest trim for any car maker and even then is an option in most cases. Having it standard on both trim levels doesn't make much sense.

I agree with you, I was just saying that it's pretty much one or the other. It is weird that it isn't even an option

I myself am happy about the nav but if there is truly no HIDs in the premium, that would change

From every review I've read, most have HIDs as standard on both BRZ trims, other reviews have no mention of which lights come standard.

They have to get DOT to approve any headlights they bring so I'd suspect it'll just be one or the other, so HID for the Subaru IMO.

This is correct, and most likely true. It would actually increase development cost to certify two sets of headlights for each trim level, since there are supposedly less then 7000 cars coming per year to the US, that would likely not save them any money offering a lesser halogen lamp.

What part of the fact that this car is up market from the FR-S do you not grasp? To justify the price gap between the FR-S and BRZ premium they are including Navigation and HID's... Beating a dead horse brother.

You would've gotten so much further if you had attempted to make a counter point versus simply being snide. You may set the bar for yourself wherever you wish.
