the US spec GTR

i just read the motor trend i got today. it has the US spec GTR and it was saying the only difference between the US and the other places GTR is that the seat has wider cushions...........urghhh WHY???!!! i really think is like a turn off...seriously.

like our sti seats, its so wide. not all american's are fat and needs bigger seats. atleast make it optional. paying 100k for a car dealer should provide the option seat to fit the buyer.

just want to get it out of my head.

I agree. I'm average size for my age but regular wrx seats hug the driver more than my sti seats. Maybe I should start eating more or add 10 more layers of clothing to get that effect.

Yeah just read somewhere that we Americans are about to lose that title to Mexico. Because of a there being alot more fast food places down there. But none the less a good point America is full of fat asses.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. If anyone is complaining about the USDM GTR seats, then you aren't buying one, because if you COULD buy one, you'd have already ordered the baller new Bride seats with the chameleon painted shell.
