Only to be expected. If you were offered a car with a free radio player, or a car without a free radio player but with a voucher you could use to get a free radio player down the road (which is pretty much the same but a different brand), which would you choose?

They should have forced them to only sell the N edition in Europe.

At least the precedent is set for them to force similar restrictions when Microsoft tries to bundle MSN Search into Longhorn.
