Yeah, sorry guys but I have no translation for you. I suppose military import would be the way to go, although you would still need to get it federalized (not sure if that would be a problem or not)

i didnt see anything different than the regular US options on the pics. ( no parktronic, no folding mirrors, no power shade for rear window)

sorry cant figure the rest out.
