Britax Roundabout LATCH retro kit? Dodge Neon LATCH retro?

I recently took a close look that the Britax Roundabout, both the latch version and the non-latch version, while at one of those super-baby-stores. Other than the addition of the latch strap I could not see a significant difference between the latch version of the seat and the earlier non-latch version. It appeared to me that on the LATCH seat Britax just threaded the latch strap through features that were common to both versions. This begs the question do they or will they offer a LATCH retrofit kit for people who have the earlier carseat? Our car doesn't have the anchors for the LATCH system now but we want to buy a new car before our daughter outgrows the car seat. We'd just buy the LATCH compatible seat except its significantly more money for a feature we won't use for a couple of years. Also, does anyone know if Chrysler offers an anchor retrofit kit for a 96 Neon?
Thanks Much

Some information-

Britax was to introduce a retrofit kit a couple years ago, but apparently plans were cancelled for reasons unknown. I suspect it is unlikely they will release one, but anything is possible.

With the exception of a few Audi and VW models, you cannot retrofit the lower LATCH anchors into vehicles without them. You can add a top-tether anchor to most vehicles since 1989, and your Dodge/Chrysler dealer should install the first one in your Neon for free.

Please let us know if you need more information!
