I meant in an entry-level sedan 
. DRLs have been used in high-end and exotic cars since a the late 70s. The Ford Tempo (and soon after the Corsica) were the first entry-level sedans to use them. Also, Oldsmobile invented the DRL/Daytime Running Headlights. Not everything was invented by Europeans 
. Almost all the cute little accessories everyone takes for granted were invented by Americans: power windows (Lincoln, 1941), power locks (Packard), the safety belt (Ford), hidden windsheild wipers, and millions of other things.
As for power seats, I think Oldsmobile invented them in the 1950s. But they first saw wide use in the 1980s, with cars like the Ford Tempo.
Wasn't the DS sold as fleet too? Taxis? The Tempo was rarely sold as fleet, if you knew anything you'd know the word: LTD/Crown Victoria! Taxi cabs, squad cars etc were almost 99% Crown Vics/LTDs and NOT Tempos. Tempos were sold mostly to public, unlike the Corsica (which was released as a commercial car like the Biscayne).
