All on the lines of pricing my friend! the "limited being 2000-2500" more than the premium scares me so I'll play it safe and go for the premium...maybe they'll see that not many voted for the limited and lower the price gap a bit

On the other hand once they find out that their survey has been compromised, they might jack the price just out of precaution.

Personally, I'm just gonna lie down on my income
Who is putting answers like that?! If people aren't answering honestly, hopefully they put the exact oposite.

ive gotta feeling that when they see how many people choose the premium over the limited, theyre gonna roll back some of the options in the premium package like the navigation and put it in the limited. as is stands, theres no real reason to get the limited. heated seats, and mirrors? nah dont need em.. alcantara/leather? more weight... nope dont need it.

Yeah I'm voting Premium to make the Limited unpopular and hopefully pull the price down because $2k-$2.5k is steep. The tech package (nav w/ bluetooth, heated seats+mirrors, steering wheel mounted controls) on my current car only costs around $1.2k-$1.5k.

K, I'll just submit one survey on my personal laptop, my work laptop, my work desktop, my personal smartphone, and the 30 smartphones I run tests on at work.

So do you guys really think subaru will make changes based on survey answers? If so, this thread needs more attention from forum members.

I don't think it will change the price but they will use it to decide how many of each type/color they want to make.

That's exactly what it's for. The problem with not being honest on what you want means you might be waiting a LOT longer for what you want!

Work for Sprint?


This survey is helpful but would be more helpful if they gave us the pricing.

Close. They buy our phones (HTC) so we set up an office right by Sprint World Headquarters.

I hope they pull some (more preferably all) of the options off of the premium, and save them for the Limited. I am probably going to end up with a Scion, anyway, so that I can actually start with something closer to a real base model. I would prefer radio delete, I could live with ac delete if its cheaper, and I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want any of the following (let the flaming begin): HIDs, Navigation/GPS, heavier seats, bluetooth, or USB/ipod (or anything that uses itunes, for that matter)! If the price difference between the premium and limited is even $2000, the price difference between premium, and the base model I want is easily $3500! That should make for a ~$21,000 BRZ and the satisfaction of not having had to pay for anything I did not want...

Radio AND ac delete? You do realize the years is 2012 right...
