Thanks for your replies. It's interesting the differences between the package offerings for the UK market and in the US. And how the US list price is less, even without the tax you pay. And how we get the sport button as standard.

In the UK, are you able to haggle over the car's price, or are you paying the asking price? Because of the limited production, US dealers are able to command list price and some add more to that. For most other makes found here, you can negotiate prices. Supply and demand.
