Factory JCW in Canada - Sports Suspension and Aero Kit

Hey all you Canuck NAMs,

Got a PDF from my "Brand Specialist" (Canada's term for MA) that confirms the following details:

1) Factory JCW cars sold as 2009 models
2) Comes standard with "sports" suspension - consistent with what MINI USA VP Jim McDowell said at this year's NYIAS
3) Comes standard with the factory aero kit - NOT the JCW aero kit. I think this is a negative! I would rather have the stock bumpers.
4) Mechanical LSD is not available since DCT/EDL is standard

No pricing is available, but orders can be put into the system for June 2008. Delivery later in the summer.

Checked here in BC and was told it is a Sept build with a Nov delivery. Major dealers seem to have an order limit of 3. Anyone know anything about that?

It's a different car than the US version and mini.ca is more than a bit lacking in details (and the photos on the site show the Aero kit...) The "2008 Product Planning Bulletin" PDF was a bit of a mess. Anyone have more complete details on the car?
