It's typical for them to look at aftermarket mods to see what's popular, then offer their version on the dealership floor. Seems to me that's what these two editions are.

"Sure, you can buy Brembos, stiffer bars, 18" wheels, stickier tires and a big wang, but then you gotta put them on. We can do it for you cheaper, and pre-assembled. Oh, and we'll make it look like a creamscicle for no extra charge!"
