I think you're right. That's what I posted above. I was just trying to find out if I'm missing something here or if are more unfounded rumours.

The OP said we have fewer options here making it sound like we can't get the same equipment. That's what I was mostly questioning. We do but can't pick and choose quite as much as the US. No biggie to me.

well after doing a little bit of research i found out that its only a couple of thousand dollars cheaper (around 2g) to buy a G in States and bring it over to Canada, after all the duties and taxes! not worth it for me.

Wait about 6 months after the car's release and when dealerships will be selling the car closer to invoice price ... the savings will become significant, despite the 10% exchange rate. For a "couple thousand" ... that's about a year's worth of gasoline. For the time required to make the car comply ... I'd do it if I planned on keeping it beyond 5 years. (Did so with a 2007 Acura TSX for my wife ...)

yes i did this with G35 coupe prices. If its done legaly u must pay American taxes, then 6.1% import tax, 6% GST, 8%PST, 206$ Duty fee. thats 20.1% ON TOP of the State's tax. oh and u must convert the american price to canadian. THats another 10%. i guess the other way is just driving the car in without officialy importing it and then ud save all those fees.

It is so easy to import vehicles now because there are many importing companies that takes care of all the paperwork. There is really no reason to pay that much more to buy a vehicle from a Canadian Dealership.
