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

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.
