I agree with Larry, I wish I could get those heated mirrors too. We have them on our Forester and I think of them as a safety feature around here.
If you see an HCH the same color as yours, there is a good chance that it's me. There is not a lot hybid car in Quebec. Most people think I'm fool buying one. You should read what people write in Quebec forums about hybrid car. Most dealer don't keep one in stock. I had to buy mine without seeing one.

May be I got the heated mirror but you get a lot more, usually car price are much higher here than in the states. Usually because of the exchange rate. There is also 15% taxes. Hybrid cars tend to be even more expensive. Fortunatly this year Honda reduce the price of its HCH around $3000. It's cost $25,800. The prius price start at $31,000. In Quebec there is no tax break when you buy hybrid car. So you really need to be "green" to buy one.
