I just tried to configure a Rallye and checked every single box possible. I could only get to $64,865 (before incentives and rebates). What am I missing?
Jim, FX foreign exchange. @Womps OP is Canadian. Canadians don’t like to keep typing CAD because to them it’s all dollars and their dollar to them is as important as USD is to us.

Oh! Thanks! I didn’t notice. Totally understand. If we insist on people typing HK$; SG$, AUS$, etc, then we should be typing USD$ (which is actually my custom when I know I’m talking in multiple currencies).

On the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto issue, I'm trying to figure out what I'd be losing if I bought a car that didn't offer it (I'm an Android guy so lack of CarPlay isn't an issue for me). So if a car has Google integration like the GMs do now, what would I be missing? I use Google Maps for navigation, so I'd be covered there. I listen to Spotify when I'm not using Sirius XM, but Google integration would allow me to download it if it's not already installed. I suspect Bluetooth would mean my phone calls and texts would still play through the sound system. Is there really anything else where I'd lose functionality if the car didn't offer Android Auto?

Kind of redundant like that. Simply US$ is good.

For Canada, use Looney$, unless you mean two, and then Tooney$. :crackup:

Resurrecting an old thread as I am also wondering. If you are an Android user, the GM's with Google built-in ("Android Automotive") should pretty much make up for the loss of "Android Auto". Perhaps you need to pay for some data services for the car instead of relying on your phones data plan?
