I was wondering the same thing myself. Along with what are "IP meters?"

There are premium details everywhere you look,
* the use of dampers on interior moving parts such as what you would find in more upscale vehicles
* A retractable audio cover
* A cast aluminum dial for temperature control
* And IP meters that awaken with a bounce.

Thats a good question! What does dual power points mean? I am thinking of every technical definition for a word and still I don't know what it means. 8)

I would think that they mean Cigarette lighters.....or as present day setups are called power plugs.

As for IP meters.....i wouldn't have the darndest idea.

I'm guessing IP meters means Instrument Panel and they "awaken with a bounce" because when you turn your car on, the gauges do a full sweep. (ie: 0 to 140 to 0 mph, 1 to 8 to 1 rpm's) I think thats cool(the STI does it). The dual power points...well, not too sure but maybe their talking about like when you press the gas, it goes really fast, and then the second power band kicks in. (like the celica's and matrix's) Probably not but I'm just trying to make and educated guess. Hell if i know, but it sounds nice, right?

Power Point are additional plugs that power things like Portable DVD Players, Power Inverters, Ect. They are in addition to the cigarette lighter, but with no lighter just the plug.
