I am aware that there may be differences in some RX-8 features based on individual country marketing and regulations. The headlight washers come to mind on HID equipped vehicles almost globally except for the USA spec’d cars.

I came across what could have been another difference on the Series 2 updated front seat controls (non-R3). The Canadian cars only had the seat back power tilt switch on the driver’s side. From a US 2011 brochure (see photo) it appears that both front seats had this feature on the Grand Touring trim. Just curious if this was the case. I have seen the Australian brochure and their RHD driver’s seat had the feature.
