Sport seats?

Check this out......it's the first good picture I've seen of the "thigh extension". Does anyone know if this is a 'sports seat' option only, or will it carry across to all the seats, regardless of model?

I believe the default seats have those too. According to the Canada order guide at least, the default seats are 16-way power.

Front/Back (2)
Front Tilt (2)
Rear Tilt (2)
Recline (2)
Headrest (2)
Lumbar (4)

That adds up to 14 way...so I assume the other one is the thigh extender.

Also every pic I've seen shows a door controller that has the extender control on it...

I think in the US the driver's seat will have that standard, but passenger is an option.

that maybe true, I just have never seen any info in the ordering guides referring to the seats, just "sport seats" for the sport package. It seems the sport seats have more agressive bolstering on the back, but the seat bottoms all look the same to me (as far as shape, not whether or not there's an extension).

I'm going of off the interior pics of the mb-tex vs leather options in the guides

Half of the pics in the order guide look like the passenger seat have a seam for an extension, and the others don't. It very well could be an option, but it's not clearly stated what that option would be
