Do not all SL550’s built for Canadian sale automatically have ABC?

I do believe that I heard that. MB Canada made the right choice, MBUSA the wrong choice.

Yes, please buy Canadian SLs. Most of them have very low milage since they cannot be winter driven (Don't argue with me on this until you've seen what our winters are like!) and they come with ABC, and many of them are also quite well equipped. A bonus is that everything will be in correct, easy to understand units!

Before my SL, I had a SLK 350 (R172) and the ride was really harsh. I thought long and hard about getting ABC before I ordered my SL because it was an expensive option. My wife is really pleased that I ordered ABC which means that I am very happy.
