According to reports, 25 Walmart locations in the Southwest will soon be equipped with CarSaver kiosks, where potential new car buyers can search and purchase a vehicle (including financing options). Testing done in Florida found that customers were saving an average of $3,000 off MSRP per transaction.
There were a lot of high hopes that Subaru was going to offer a turbocharged, STI, or convertible version of the new Subaru BRZ. Although these rumors were floating around for a while, it seems Subaru will not be offering any of the previously mentioned goodies in the new model.
Tesla has never been one to follow the “norm” and it isn’t about to start to.

Unfortunately, retrofitting these hardware updates may not be possible.
