The price in the US is 32,600 at MSRP. Are the cars different in some way that there should be such a large difference in price??

If you are planning on getting a car and want it fast check out www.mobile.de you can find a '03/late '02 s2000 with < 10k km for 25K EUR.

Thanks, Siepel. Excellent information. 
With respect to the cost issue, I think it'd be more expensive to design / produce different dashboard circuitry for different regions than it would to simply include some unused/extra stuff. In other words, I'd think it'd be best to design one product which has the union of all necessary features. I don't know, though. Perhaps each region needs its own dashboard for different reasons than the km/mph thing. In my business (computers), you try to avoid any hardware differences when selling into different regions.
(that's why I write software!
