If you know more, post them here and i will update this post with it...

i just dont understand why the usa gets the short end of the stick EVERY time. my guess is because our safety standards are through the roof. but no drl's, rear camera, push start, leather. just the little things bug me. i imagine the back seats & glass roof didnt meet the us safety standards, ridiculous.

i would say thats bogus too. half that stuff can be used in the states but they prolly dont think we want them. either that or they are trying to keep the price as low as possible so they might actually sell the car... which is redundant cause of dealer mark ups.
