Question 2013 Outback rear floor change

The issue popped up when i put WeatherTech 2010-2012 DigitalFit liner into my 2013 OB. I saw a gap between the rear liner and floor. See here:
Weathertech digifit mats for 2013?

Then contacted WeathetTech and they said the 2010-2012 OB used to test-fit the liner has curve edges on the floor at the rear door side. That's why the liner is curved. However, i did not see this floor curvature on my 2013 model.

For those 2010-2012 OB owners, could you check yours and confirm the curve edge on the floor?

Crazy, yep I can confirm that. I'll post a picture later tonight if no one beats me to it. Right where the front passenger and driver seat belts bolts to the floor, there is a slight curved angle there just like they have in the first picture.

I guess they changed the car more then I thought for '13.

First reply from SOA said no floor change. But i asked them to double check on that. Will hear back next Monday.
Looking forward to your pics.

I like the idea that the digital fit mats completely cover the floor, but WeatherTech might not think it's worth their trouble to edit an existing product for such a small discrepancy.

If not, DigitalFit will be meaningless....
