Keyless Go

I'm puzzled. While reading the manual last night, I came to realize the Keyless Go feature is only available in Canada (on North American cars) and not in the US. Is there some special reason for this? It's a really handy feature and I'm sure lots of other US-spec cars must have this feature.

Why not the C63 AMG?

Yeah, the Keyless Go and the fold-in mirrors are great. I wonder why we got the better features list. There must be more to this than meets the eye.

Conspiracy theory, anyone?

But that doesn't quite explain why they didn't provide for the Keyless Go as an option in the US...or do they?

Yeah, that one was truly brilliant.

Even my wife's Expedition has backup sensors...and a camera built into the rearview mirror.

They are trying to undermine USA-Canadian relationships... Damn Germans... I hear that they are out in Venezuela aiding in their training with the Russians...

Hadn't noticed that before, but it is indeed now listed as part of the Premium Package, which I've ordered on mine...due for a Feb.2009 build. Cool!
