TPMS In 2008 models

Continuing in the fine fashion of over-zealous safety requirements in US cars (eg: Daytime running lights), all 2008 models must now have a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) fitted. Interesting link. Do Aus models have this or is it just the US built Subarus?

...Engineering for lazy people who don't check their tyre pressure regularly...

Not really, but it could be a lot more useful too. If they went to the effort of putting a sensor system in there why not monitor pressure and temperature, not just when the pressure is 25% too low?
