Why does Nav cost $200 more on Ralliart than on GTS?

I was just building a Ralliart on Mitsu's website and I noticed that the Nav option costs $1,999 but the same option (which actually includes more stuff) on the GTS only costs $1,800. Is this a typo? If not, does anyone know why?

Also, it appears that you can't get the auto on/off headlights or rain sensing wipers on the Ralliart. Is this correct? (not a big deal, just another thing I noticed).

I think it's cuz the navi system on the RA offers real time traffic and weather.

Really? I had not heard anything about this. Can anyone with a Nav equipped Ralliart confirm or deny this?

It's the only one that cares about your friends?

The available navigation system is billed as the only one in the U.S. with carpool-lane guidance, though we were unable to test this feature in suburban Detroit.

its because the $1999 NAVI is sold as a port-installed accessory and the $1800 NAVI is sold as a factory option.

That sounds like a realistic answer. Thank you.

My Ralliart has both rain-sensing wipers and auto on/off headlights, so obviously they're available.

^ Your RA is canadian,

I dont the the US Ralliart comes with rain-sensing wipers or auto on/off headlights. Least mine didn't. I've only got speed compensating intermittent wipers.
