Interesting...wonder if there are other versions I don't know about like a RC300 in RWD or an RC200t in AWD. The 300H going to only be avaialble in awd in the USA, I'm assuming.

It is very "market" specific around the globe. Just like in USA, in North East, they don't ship rear wheel drive. Check out the UK site and you will see the difference.

I still don't understand, market wise, as to why ML is only available on the west coast. If you're on the east coast, you basically have to order it. Like we don't have the ears for audio but the west coast does.

Did not know that but it makes sense to me now....When I went to buy I asked about it but they said there would be wait. That plus the cost couldn't be justified.
