dark_rex Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Here's a shot of the B4 interior. Aside from the LHD, this is pretty much what we're looking at for the USDM model. Seems to line up with the press releases as well.. dR [img]http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=392559[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_rex Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 still looks aweful "plasticy" that's the one complaint about the WRX. it's very plasticy on the interior. hopefullt the picture doesn't do it justice. dR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBY Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 The difference between studio lighting and dude with his digital camera is extreme. I'd expect something in-between totally cool and plasticy like our Rex's. This is going to be a long 6 months :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBY Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 The plastic steering column surround looks to be exactly the same as the Impreza's along with the stalks and illuminated keyhole. Parts bin in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT4SWA Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 The LCD display at the upper center stack looks great in the Japanese spec car...what are we getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_rex Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 the panel LCD will no doubt be an option. (read: navigation) dR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukonart Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Either way, look on the bright side: Underneath that hideaway is supposed to be a DIN slot. I like the idea of being able to conceal an aftermarket NAV display up there. ;) I'm sure Schosche or Metra will come out with some kind of trim that'll replace the factory one for aftermarket head units. . . it's only a matter of time. Too bad they didn't just keep the current Impreza-based system of a double-DIN cavity with absolutely no need for trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that equate to a double DIN slot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukonart Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Well. . . (taking this from a manual on Pioneer's website) (DIN) (chassis) ...... 178 (W) ×50 (H) ×157 (D) mm It's safe to say that, so long as the cavity is DEEP enough, I'm sure a deck of some kind could be mounted there. . . somehow. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I think that the fake aluminum pieces are a big part of the plastic look. Good trim pieces can really help out a better but not perfect interior. I think that keeping an eye out for dash kits would be a great investment. Carbon Fiber will just keep the cabin too dark. It needs some kind of aluminum or other lighter texture to help it out. Just not that plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmy04 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I think the plastic looks and feels better than it does in photo's. It's certainly a big step up in quality from that in the Mazda 6, which doesn't seem very durable either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPower Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Yes, it does look better and overall less plasticky in person, but it's still not WOW! The professional pictures of it are a much better indication of how it really looks. I haven't seen the "wood" trim in person yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
