It’s downright criminal how much cheaper cars are in the States than they are here in Canada.
Do we all like compact cars because we take pride in our environmental responsibility… or are we just overtaxed and overcharged to the point where we just can’t afford the nicer cars that the average American can put in their driveway?
If I were an American, I could get a Subaru Impreza WRX STI with all the options I want for $34,480.
If I convert that generously to Canadian dollars, it would be $38,617.
Now if I go price the same car on the Canadian Subaru site, it comes to $51,038. WTF? Why am I paying an extra $12k just because I live on this side of the border?
This holds true for pretty much every car on the market.
So basically, I’m getting a car worth thousands of dollars less than what I’m paying. Thanks big car corporations for bending me over and sticking it to me. I appreciate it. Really.
To be fair, they didn't change the prices when the exchange rate made prices in Canada better than those in the US, why would they change that policy now that the exchange makes the reverse true?
Its because they have to build a specially tuned engine that runs on Maple Syrup for all those Canadian cars.
Yeah. E85 is for pussies. Who uses corn to power cars?? Our cars run straight off tree sap.
