Canada vs US

So we all know that us here in Canada can't get the Navigation system.

But we do have some things that our friends to the south dont get...

1/ Heated mirrors
2/ Daytime running lights
3/ "low winsheild washer fluid" warning
4/ standard front mudguards? (i think)
5/ Indigo Blue

Any other differences?

Here's what we in the States get:

1. Navigation
2. Carbon Gray
3. Meteor Silver Metallic
4. A strong military
5. Harsher drug laws
6. Arctic Blue

Am I missing anything?

4.8 US quart windshield washer reservoir vs. 2.6 US quart for the US models (don't understand why there would be a difference here?)

One item we don't get is all those intrusive air bag warning stickers

You may have a strong military, but we have SARS (at least in the Toronto area). Well it seems that that is all behind us now!

Ya German beer is great. I've never tried Schneider Weiss though. Do you know if they sell it at Bier Markt? (I see you're from Toronto). I'll have to give it a try sometime.

Wow this thread really got off topic fast.

I was joking about that beer crack. I just wanted to see what you'd say. I like Canadian beer. It's better than any US macrobrew, I can tell you that much. But we have some small microbrews here (as I'm sure you do) that put out some amazing beers. But in the end, I would go with a Belgian beer. I love Orval and others, and I have Steela in my fridge. Speaking of which...brb.

You can get Smithwick's in Canada, but not here. Brings a tear of sorrow to my eye.

Uhhhh, don't you get everything in two languages? Let's see outside of Quebec, English and French are the size font, and inside Quebec, English is a much smaller font than the French??? How does that impact the TSX???

Hey, I'm in California, where there are some locales where residents don't think they are in the United States!

I like Czech and S.E. German (Boehmerwald region) beers.

Among Yank beers, I favor some sort of Amber beer, but the name escapes me right now. Hey, that figure is a pimp grin?! I thought it was a Bavarian!

Did you know beer is good for belly aches? Good medicine it is!

I must be wrong.... I could have sworn that I saw daytime runners listed on Acura's site for the TSX. I am also sure that my dealer stated it when I spoke to him. But.... as my girlfriend constantly tells me... I AM WRONG!!
Sorry.

I guess that means I was RIGHT -- which, as MY girlfriend will tell you, is a first.

LOL!!! Well then out of the 2 of us ...one of us is right...which means that the odds of either one of us being right in our girlfriends eyes are still the same......slim to none, and slim just ran away.
But you may have a shot in my GF's eyes since she is from up around you. RYE Mamaroneck or thereabouts
