Pretty cool about this screen option, and the option to have 5 seats with a fully reclining chair!

The 2010+ model year cars in Canada had this option available on them. The screen becomes part of the rear centre console area and appears to basically stop the ability to pass anything into the back seat. I guess you could throw something back there over the screen if you really needed to .

Here is a car that's for sale in Canada that has that rear package

While those cars are nice and all, I'm pretty darn happy with my 08 LS460! ;-)

Trust me. If I want it, I can get it. The squeaky wheel ALWAYS gets the oil.

I guess for the right amount of money you can pretty much import anything short of contraband and illegal drugs.
There must be a loophole to import cars that are not allowed in the states by considering them as collectors items or mobile art.
