VIN tells at least part of the story

I have an '06 Sport w/Visibility package.
According to the '06 owner's manual the 5th digit is D=Arc (Base) or H=Aero (Sport). Mine does have H in this position of the VIN.
I believe all US '06 Sports have either the 2-tone seats or the ventilated seats (which are solid color). If it doesn't have one of those probably not a sport.
How to recognize visibility package:
If it has the visibility package it should have park assist sensors in the rear bumper that are easily recognizable. When in reverse it should say 'Park Assist' in the SID and if someone walks close behind it in reverse you should get the beep. Derbie has already commented on the mirror and wipers. Personally I am indifferent to the visibility package but nothing wrong with having it.
BTW - If looking online and wondering if a car is manual or auto that is position 7 in the VIN where 5=Manual and 9=Auto.
