On the other hand, we don't have heated front seats as standard in Australia, which i tend to think they are standard in some other markets? i'm guessing they pick out what they think the market would most expect to be 'standard' in a car of that pricing level for more satisfaction
Well, in DK due to our outrageous car taxes, it's historically been the case that the standard equipment was the air that happened to be trapped inside the car at the time of delivery...

It is getting better though.

Still, you'd probably die if I showed you an options list from Mercedes or BMW. I remember Nappa upholstery being a 35K Euro option in 1999 on the w220.
