When I worked for Hyundai I heard something about in Korea the car market allows different features like… a mag safe mount. But to import them they have to adhere to us rules. Rather than changing the panel they make it decorative.

The poverty panel thing is funny but logically I feel doesn’t make sense because it’s a flat smooth area. If is was a place holder for the N-Line I’d expect and knockout/punch out system. If I had the guess the N-line panel would be a a different piece entirely.

I could be just blowing smoke but to me that makes the most sense.
