Yeah, I was researching the cubby and how to retrofit it after I bought my '13. Then, about four weeks after owning the car, I saw it and opened it. I was astounded. I kept reading that the US cars didn't have this due to the whole knee/airbag/sliding under the dash in a crash deal, so I never bothered to look. Meanwhile, I drive the damn thing every day. Not one of my smartest moments on this planet.
I guess not everything on the internet is true...
...."he's a French model"
Edit to add: I think my build date is either January 2013, or March 2013--can't remember off the top. Either way, I know it's an early 2013 model. I bought it end of April.
