C63 in Canada Different then US

I went on MB Canada and was surprised to see the difference in packages and things offered in Canada.

Canada they offer

Keyless Go, heated seats std, it doesnt look like they offer AMG seat pkg upgrade. I was thinking of heading to our neighbors to the north and getting one up there but I dont understand why the packages are so different. Does anyone know if this is 100% true?

Some time ago exchange rate Can$ to US$ was close to 1.
The price in Canada (base $63,500 Can) is more than in US and make it = they put more staff in the car, I think.
Some other manufacturers keep price figures ~30% more than in US. It is one of the reasone M3 is down here, you can easily with packages and taxes pay >100,000$ for it.

My uncle lives in Montreal I know taxes are very high in Canada what is it 15% for new car purchases? The seat package apparently gives you nicer leather seats with several seat positions.

There is only one way to get your C63 seats in Canada. Nappa is Standard and there is no upgrade from that....

To this day, I still cannot figure out why Keyless Go isn't even an option for US C63 customers.

Here in Germany, Parktronic could be ordered from the first day on - I don't understand why it shouldn't be available in the US.

Sources please. There has been no confirmation of DI making into the AMG M156 lineup let alone the C63.
