Thanks for sharing. You take any pics while there?

I think this exact car will be in Dallas in Mid-March...
I just found out from someone up at Pittsburgh that the Red premium there is possibly a Automatic, so its quiet hard to figure out if they are using the same cars or what.

Well if it is indeed a premium automatic, then it most likely is a different car.

At your Autoshow this weekend? o.o someone from Pittsburgh posted a picture a couple days ago, it's a Red Premium high chance of it being Auto.

Sall, I'm in So. Cal. as well. Could you ask Subaru of Irvine regarding steering wheel button options along with the aha option? For some reason I thought it was all standard on the limited....but now I'm thinking it may come as a premium. don't want to pay more than $27k + tax/license for a fully loaded model.
