Generally, there's a lot more flexibility on options in the US than Canada. It seems in Canada in order to get any single option, you have to order everything.......just like Audi.

But the US "base" model still has a sunroof. Isn't that right?

Yes, our basic models include optional features like:

dual-zone climate automatic
Adaptive xenons
Moonroof
Leatherette (as opposed to cloth)
premium interior trim (as opposed to matte silver)
Metallic paint
Alarm system

We're a bit spoiled

Yes, but at least you don't have to buy one with crap (a sunroof, for starters) that you don't want...

The sunroof, as fun as it is, WILL leak later in the car's life. Ask how I know.
