Umm... what? [shameful]

Speaking of usability, it's missing two doors, but otherwise sounds delicious!
Reviewer says the previous version didn't have "driving modes" which isn't really the case. Previous had same thing, just had a different marketing name.

My Vision of the Americanized version:
Drops to 199 HP. (because, 1hp makes a big difference on insurance?)
Definitely looses Launch Control
Likely looses LSD
Color LCD Dash Info Display turns into Mono-Color, less info per screen
Interior will be (far) cheaper with less buttons and complexity.
Maybe looses DRL, LED and/or Projector Housings
Left Hand Drive... of course.

You are incorrect about the drive modes. The new car adjusts throttle response, suspension and exhaust as well as traction control which is all the previous generation adjusted. Completely different.

It seems you're right. I missed the part about the "trick dampers", and was thinking it would have to have something as expensive as magnetic ride suspension; which I know it wouldn't have.

I did see the part about throttle response but it merely sounds like a de-tune, just to tune it. Exhaust is probably just a byproduct of timing adjustments, rather than a physical change, such as a baffle or valve. But maybe they'll surprise me.

To me theottle response and exhaust are more "gimmicky" than anything else. I have an RS, as well, that has these "driving" modes and suspension and traction control adjustments are the only noticeable things that seem to improve my performance during my (admittedly limited) track time.
