compared to the previous just buying the normal model and adding all that stuff to your car. Its basically just a bundling of a bunch of packages and badging. Its not really a rebadging if you can't get all that stuff any other way anymore.
You have described the definition of badge engineering.

Just because you are more limited in your options, doesn't mean you are better off.
