Any of the "on the lot" vehicles that have accessories on them (so called "popular packages" or single items) were likely ordered that way by the dealer or were somehow specified that way for the regular allocation that comes in to each Subaru dealer based on volume. I do agree that sometimes the "packages" are confusing...there is a chart here somewhere in the forum that shows what they all are and in some cases, like you illustrate, the "package/code" "is" the vehicle, rather than the vehicle with something extra. Touring is like that. When you factory order, after you pick your trim and variation if there is one or more, you can choose any of the accessories you desire and have it on your factory order and with one exception on the Ascent, they can and will be "port installed" before the dealer receives delivery in most cases without additional installation cost. (regional variations may apply depending on who is the distributor) The one exception that I'm aware of is the fob based remote start which must be dealer installed. Some dealers charge installation fees for that; some do not if it's on your original order deal. (mine didn't tack on installation for the fob based remote in my deal, although I eventually didn't take delivery of that option and got a full refund for it after confirming that StarLink actually worked in our driveway which has minimal cellular signal)
Aside from getting the exact features I want, the primary reason I always order a vehicle is so I also get the exterior color and interior color I want, with the latter being more important in the scheme of things...I. Do. Not. Do. Black. ... Ever. Even with a substantial discount offered. Too many rides on dealer lots are in dark, dingy colors for some reason and I'm just not interested in them. I did have to settle for the brown interior for my Touring but my small discomfort about that wasn't because it was brown. Rather, it was because I had just spent 7 years in a similarly colored interior and I was hoping to go back to lighter. What can I say...I'm fickle.
Having 40 Ascents to choose from on the lot is a nice benefit when there is a high volume dealer that can offer that, including for folks who are pretty particular. Around here, most Subarus's sell so quickly at that the largest number of them that are delivered by non-mega-dealers are either customer factory orders or in-pipeline vehicles that match what a customer wants. The few that make it to the lot are either not there very long or are more basic trims that are not as popular with the local demographic. That pretty much means anything that comes in is spoken for. My Ascent was factory ordered; our MY16 Outback Limited with Eyesight was factory ordered, but fulfilled early by an in-pipeline vehicle that was the correct color and features. Our MY16 actual order became someone else's when it eventually came in.
