North Americans are being a little more open to these features now; VWs, Volvos and Mercedes all have features in their NA cars (even the tail lamp fog light). As long as it doesn't conflict with US/Canadian regs the feature might stay.

But isn't that also a matter of cost? They sell so few units over here (relatively speaking) that its cheaper to leave stuff in on the NA bound cars than it is to figure out how to take it out.

It's why for years until GM caved in and made it standard NA wide, that a US spec car could be made to have Canadian spec DRL's with the addition of one fuse, it was cheaper to design them all to be DRL friendly and just not put in the fuse than to make a "Canada only" model.
