I can see where TM's offering a Canadian Sig, or for that matter a European Sig, might make U.S. Sig owners feel somewhat less exclusive or elite. It was a marketing decision to offer a a special edition car in the first place, kind of like the ads on TV that say, "Not available in stores!". Unfortunately, companies often have a tendency to promise more than they deliver, and to engage in a bit of "puffery" in their marketing. It shouldn't surprise anybody when the promised performance is adjusted over time. But we should also note that TM has on occasion made marketing choices that add to the value of what we were promised, for example by offering free electricity for life at the supercharger stations. On balance, I believe the company has added more than it has subtracted.
