Default 2014 abd 2015 differences?

Was just wondering what the differences were between the 2014 and the 2015 models (if any). I've seen some that have two slightly different headlights and was not sure if this was an option or if this is the difference between the two years...

U.S market has LED headlights as the standard (the pic on the bottom). International market has the HID ones as the standard (top pic).

That's not true. HID headlights are still standard on the base model. F-sport/premium/luxury gets the LED headlights as standard.

LED headlights are indeed available in Canada but it is only from one package and it is for non-F Sport model -- Executive package.

The Navigation hardware is better on a 2015. Don't waste your time with the slow 2014 system, it'll drive you crazy.
