I think it is more akin to cost cutting measures in a traditionally cheap car market - agreed, definitely frustrating - as to the manual/leather in particular, the US just isn't a manual transmission market.

I've asked if the reflective HID on this model will generate terrible beam pattern and here is the response from Subaru Canada. "Thank you for contacting Subaru Canada, Inc.The housing design for the HID lights have been in effect since 2009 on our Foresters and WRX/STI models with very positive results. There is no safety issue with having them, it is simply the newest option on the Impreza for 2012.

Thanks for pics of the HID lights.
It looks like the headlight housings are pretty much the same, so I wonder if it would be as simple as getting the bulbs and ballasts to put these in the US version. |

The Canadian market is a closer match to the euro market than the US market. Canadians will generally accept a premium small car with premium features. US buyers think bigger is better, small is cheap, and WILL NOT spend bigger money on a smaller car. I think those attitudes are starting to change but it's just not here yet. How many F150s sell in the US alone every year? Something like 700,000.
To Subarus credit, I think they totally nailed me. I love my Sport Limited |
