But hey Canadian bacon doesn't make much sense to me either, I just call it ham. Must be a Canadian thing. <shrug>

What I mean is power windows, mirrors, locks, and seats have got to out way a factory stereo system. And I think the stereo will come in the Canadian model.
And before you make Canada jokes just remember they are the udisputed best at being just north of the US

Correct.

I have a 02 WRX (in VA) and these were not options previously available. Subaru is clearly differentiating the "Sporting" side of the STi, from the standard WRX (which seems to be moving in the direction of, dare-I-say, luxury sedan).

Apart from this nuance in the US market, I am not informed as to any differences being offered for the Canadian market. But does it really matter? At least Canada is getting the 300hp STi which is more than Europe can say at this point.

Canadian WRX STi website

go and checkout www.wrx-sti.ca
as the website said, there're standard stereo (including 6-disc cd changer), heated driver's seat, and pass through rear seat in Canadian models. I can't find anything about HID, which is a sad thing....
well, I guess the horsepower and the torque at 4,000 rpm can let us forget about the HID!!!!!!!!
