Because Canadian prices are more? Why is just about everything cheaper? Lower corporate taxes? Less overhead? Lower cost of doing business? You tell me.

Know i thinkaboutt it about, its the same price if i was going to bring a car from the U.S.A to Canada, because if i where to buy it for $18,000 US, that would equal around 23000$ cnd, then you would need shipping form 500$ to 2000$ depending on the area, then you need to pay duty for the car, the duty goes by as much as you bought the car you need to pay 6% and 7% of the cost of the car since the car is made in Japan, and you have other things to pay such as inspection etc. If i got the s2k for $23,000 cnd, i would need to pay $26,000 that that dosent even inclued shipping and inspection and regesteration, and its a american car.
So you would end up paying around 30,000$.
