I live in Canada, so I can actually get the options I want for my SEL, but I cant figure out why in the US, if I want Navigation I have to also buy the utility package which includes BLIS, whereas in Canada as long as I have Sync 3 I can just add navigation. (I don't like BLIS, I prefer the curvy blind spot mirror)
Same goes for seats, In Canada I can have premium cloth seats or leather, but in the US I have to have leather if I want SYNC3 etc. (Again I prefer cloth seats to leather, its not a cost thing, its a preference)
As I say, I CAN get the options I want, but if I lived 70 miles south in NY state I couldn't. Cars are made in the same factory, but these differences aren't due to different regulations and it can't be a technical issue. Just don't understand the logic.
