What do you mean with north american? mexican?

They are pretty much the same here.... So far now we are lacking from the cupras.

The only thing that is different here is that most of the versions come with the old 2.0 engine (115 Hp, or something like that)

It may, beacuse wether or not Mexico is part of North America varies on the current agenda of the USA.

As far as I understand SEATs have never been sold in USA or Canada.
