Speaking of the R32, it can now be legally imported from the US to Canada. Here it is at Brantford VW:

Is that shock of delight or shock of dismay?  That's only a $4000 premium over the US price.  Furthermore, the R32 beat the 2008 STI in a C&D comparison, and the STI costs $40k-$46k.

Yes, the US price is $33K for a brand new car....but this one is used. Personally I think its high but I do understand that the price is an issue of supply/demand.

Cripes, I drove right past that dealership this morning too.   If I'd known, I would've stopped in for a peek.  Too bad you can't get a proper transmission in that car ... otherwise, yeeehaw!  Love it in Candy White too.

I like the styling of the MKVI even more than the MKV!

I've seen grey-market R34 Skyline GTRs selling in the States for about US$70,000.  That's the price of a new R35 GT-R. 

It happens everywhere, and has nothing to do with manufacturers burning Canada or anything like that.

3 words: "supply and demand".

It's an asking price, too.  Who knows what the final selling price will be...

Did you leave your glasses on the night table

I never said anything about Canada getting burnt....I admitted this was an issue of supply and demand.

I like the MK1 Retro Interior.

Not too crazy about the fabric color & material-type combo, says bad table cloth flavors too much.

The pattern/colours look like they came from the inside of a sleeping bag.

MK6 GTI is supposedly being launched in NA Fall 2010
