As a Canadian, we need more features to better deal with visibility and the cold.
LED/HID lights
head light washers (come on....!!)
Heated steering wheel, front + rear seats as STD or avail for all models
Heating element at base of windshield like on Subaru's
No Gangsta 20" rims on ANY model (what were they thinking...???)
Auto-Folding rear view mirrors so they don't get scratched in tight places
No money wasted with one touch door lock feature or open/close buttons on teh rear hatch
Why a black interior as std?
CDN pricing that isn't $$$$ higher than the US prices
Other than that it is a good upgrade. I still love my 05. Maybe when these new ones come off lease in 2013.

The features you've listed I don't even think are offered on the GX. I would say wait for the 6th gen or maybe even 7th. Toyota models have just started to get smart key and I think only the Highlander Hybrid has VDIM (the more advance version of VSC). The only Toyota close to getting Lexus like features is the Prius V (laser cruise, intuitive parking assist, lane keep assist, LED headlights, etc.). It'll take some time for the Lexus goodies to trickle down to Toyota.
I agree though, Canadian models have fewer options and choices than the US models.
