Love that for the first time in recent memory that the pricing is actually cheaper in CDN $ than the US pricing.

P.S. I want something bigger Mike!

sure is an exclusive list...only 30 models to be made. it was already a great looking car, and the minor additions really make it stand out more. i agree with the previous posts....not really digging the orange reflector.

Hehe blame your North American vehicle regulations for that. This isn't a problem in the European/international spec versions

Why was it unveiled here in Montreal? I know its only for Canada, but the Montreal auto show is crap. Most people enjoy Toronto's.
