Rock: yes, my cranking sounds normal too, not like the battery is dying. I was just speculating. I'd guess this has happened to me three or four times total in the five months I've owned the car and it doesn't seem to be weather related.

Anyhow, as you propably already figured out, yes....the last notch before it starts (you'll hear a sort of high pitch sound from the pump I believe).

You can hear the fuel pump run for sure. I have not had any issues since I have been turning it to "On" for a few seconds and then cranking it over. It's just one of those quirks that you have to learn when getting a new car...
Thanks for all the help.

Deluxe....I will try this when i go home later today from work...i hope its nothing serious...it's kinda ridiculous for a new car...since i'm a newbie to suby's...i've owned honda's all my life and never encountered a situation like this...but hey its still a great car once you get it started!~!

I assume its the battery but I haven't had a chance to contact the dealership or replace the battery. I've heard the factory batteries aren't very good...
I decided to keep my stock battery, although im having trouble returning the other one since its been over a week. Not sure if im gonna replace it since I cant return it but had I known what I know now, I wouldnt have bought a new one in the first place.
