Too many people's passengers hurting their tail bones sitting down in the seat for the first time haha. Does that happen to anyone else? They always go to hop in and they end up catching the size of the seat in the ****.

"I heard it was something about the headrests, apparently some sort of highway safety in America didn't like "racing" bucket seats in a race car....although we all know we will have them installed anyways"

Well the 2015's go into production next month, hopefully some more info gets released. If they dont have recaro's that will really suck.

I'm putting my money that it'll have everything the 2014 has, very little subtle changes. like the head unit for example.

Traqdor (?) posted about the 2015's not having recaro's and I believe the Octane Blue coming back.

Some say it wasn't because of safety regulations, but because Mitsu was unsure if they were going to release a 2015 and waited until the last minute which caused them not to get everything finalized in time with Recaro.

Eitherway, who knows. If they do not come with Recaro's, they will still be the same price. They might even be a few hundred dollars more. But on the plus side, you get that wonderful ebay looking touchscreen radio!!!

True that. And I do like the looks of the OEM Nav unit, but wow that thing is really overpriced.

Big time overpriced, especially seeing as there are many features that are missing/annoying.

But I didn't mind a little extra when the stock non nav unit sucks as much as it does.

I wasn't sure about it either until Kreeker said something. He said he was kidding but I started looking anyways. Didn't really find any additional info on it. Just kept reading about how the Recaro's will no longer be available due to safety regulations.

Regardless of what they use it still won't be the same as a Recaro seat.
