Canadian R3 vs US

I was just wondering if I missed any of the differences between US and Canadian R3s.

Add headlight washers
Add automatic climate control
Add auto headlight setting & DRLs (just headlights rigged to run all the time)
Delete TPMS
The "tire repair kit" appears to be a hard case from pics I seen.

Is there anything else? Are the lug nuts different (weird question but I saw weird lug nuts on one)?

I'm in the US, but I want a white R3. As we all know, Canada has them. I bought a 2009 R3 brand new in '09 here in US, then sold it back in February to buy a house. Now I want one again.

Slightly off-topic, but why are headlamp washers a Canadian addition only? (And is that mandatory here, or just a non-option in the US, or what?)

For that matter, why is DRL a Canada only thing? Do these things exist in Europe? Japan? Other jurisdictions?

Seems like you got it right,my 2010-R3 has a soft case for the tire repair kit and the fact that we here in the north have to pay considerly more for our cars(this sucks)but it is what it is.

You can switch these software-side, at least in my EU car.
