Is it a deal breaker if it doesn't
I would want privacy windows front & rear if i were to own one...
Infact it could come with three strippers on the back seat and i still wouldn't buy one!

Still not really the killer sales point is it.

Probably use push button start so that people won't see you have a Subaru key

They've probably just rewired the Bright button

Probably, but it would be better if it would switch the ABS off.....

Anyway, all the reviews so far seem to point to the fact its a big improvement over the old cars, and now its aimed at a wider market, which is what subaru wanted.
Dont like it, go out and buy the botched up evo 10 which looks like a rover 75 estate/mustang cross gone wrong

As you have also defended this think on a previous thread, I can only assume you have no taste and are currently an employee of Subaru???
Your not the chief designer are you??

The exterior looks bad and after about a year of slow sales no doubt they will try and 'improve' it again. Not keen on the EVO 10 either, I`m heading for something German after 7 years of owning Subarus.

The Official Press Release mentions "A keyless entry system with a push-bottom starter is optional on all models." That could be an attractive feature
