The US ones had cheaper seats - just take a look at the photos  :sick: - and cheaper suspension - just take a look at the ride height.  I am sure I read a lot of other differences a couple of years back.  But at the end of the day, that is because US customers are only paying around £12k (that was 2 years ago) so they get what they pay for  :rolleyes:
