What ever happened to free trade? The damn thing was built to
American and Canadian standards - that sticker on the tongue has a
Canadian safety stamp on it I believe - whatever the approval agency
is in Canada.

Ever since our loonie topped the yankee dollah, more & more people are
shopping south of the border for what appears to be deals for us.
The difference in price of comparable new vehicles is quite large on
favour of the US.
It's almost as if the Canadian distributors think our dollar is still only
worth .66 US rather than 1.06.
People are starting to think there is a conspiracy to make it tough for
Canadians to pick up a deal stateside and import back to Canada.
Here's a new twist...

Leave it to the government RIV program to screw Canadians. Almost seams as
if RIV is in Jim Pattison's pocket, in my opinion.

Besides, I wouldn't buy a GM vehicle. Hahahaha. And if I did, make it a
2007 to beat this.

Sounds like we need to write our MPs and see if they like the job they have.
Ask them to put a leash on RIV and GM.

Plus I bet it is an option in the US, maybe even retrofit.

But nice find! One does have to do the research.

For our American friends, RIV is like the CRTC, but they like telling us
what to drive like the CRTC likes to tell us what to watch. Isn't it so
dumb? RIV in the big boys pockets I say.
