The Canadian EXL w/navi seems to have a few extras over the U.S. version that helps to explain a premium price.

rear seat centre armrest
Forward Collision Warning. (FCW)
Lane Departure Warning. (LDW)
Dual Zone Automatic climate control

Yup, it's pretty well equipped at all levels. For me, even if they offered a FWD manual EX-L Navi, there's just not enough additional content that I care about to justify any significant premium. That it only comes in AWD-CVT makes the decision that much easier.

FWD manual EX in Misty Green or Modern Steel for me.
