Earl,
Nicely done
Another EASY WAY TO TELL the difference between the markets is to look at the speedo. The US speedo outer scale goes to 160 miles, the Canadian speedo outer scale goes to 260 kilometers. So, that's the reason that mileage has been reported in miles [US market] or kilometers [Canadian market]
It would be awesome to have an updated revised spread sheet with 'something like' the last four numbers in the VIN sequence, the MY letter, the market, mileage, and info from the strut tower; which is engine model, trans model, trim code, etc. We can categorize the trim codes as to sunroof, seat material, etc. We need more information to understand models, trim codes, as well as updates to specs, etc.
Has total Canadian sales volume ever been reported and recorded year by year? Adding those numbers to known US numbers should give us an idea of the total MY VIN sequence range for what I'm calling the 'NORTH AMERICAN-spec' model, on a year by year basis.
The 'North American' model may include another market, but I don't know where. The basic spec of this model would include LHD with the transfer clutch transmission.
