The whole wilderness edition trim really should be "poser edition" trim anyway. A ½" factory lift and a 0.2 final drive ratio change can't hide the fact that the CVT in these cars is less than worthless for any kind of actual offroading. Having a skid plate that's more of a pebble deflector is just par for the course when it comes to modern Subaru design.
Guess you can say these cars are marketed to people that would otherwise buy a giant SUV because off-road, then proceed to never actually off-road. Mall crawlers.
