Well talk about taking advantage ( some people call that screwing!) the same people that subsidize and feed you!
Canadian Pricing Summary Details
U.S. Pricing Details
So we just couldn’t resist taking a look at some of the recent vehicle prices. We wanted to see if some Canadian Car Companies were adjusting to the new “Par” dollar or just quite simply doing nothing…. for we all know most Canadians don’t care if they pay thousands of dollars more for the same vehicle driven down south by their American cousins.
But Serge and I do. Keep following this site daily as we both go about attempting to purchase a new automobile at a fair price. Over the course of the next few weeks we will explore and visit showrooms in Canada and the U.S., we will even attempt to obtain quotes from the APA’s recommended Brokers.
We will highlight the process, the roadblocks put up by the industry and our Government to keep Canadians paying substantially higher prices. Better to give all our hard earned money to Multi- national companies, than to keep it in our pockets. Why would we want to improve our standard of living? Just ask all the ex Nortel Pensioners (12,000Plus) how they feel about our Government, The Bond traders, Major Banks and the current Bankruptcy Act that will cost them and Canadian Taxpayers millions of dollars!
Well, we are afraid to tell you folks that that is the way our Government and the Multinational Companies work. Together they manage to make hard working Canadians pay more than their American Cousins.
Stay tuned!
In case you were wondering what kind of cars are being the most imported into Canada. Well here is a list of 6 companies and how the 2010 1st Quarter imports compare to the 1st Quarter 2009. It’s going up boys and girls - going up even with all those hurdles.
Serge just competed a study on the Toyota Camry XLE 2010. He identified a 9.63% difference. Take a look at this one!

We have to assume that once the dollar approaches par that many thousands of Canadians will head south… a par dollar would generate over 17% savings. Canadian Companies better start sharpening their pencils or maybe they will just pump more money into their lobbying fund to entice our “Consumer Supporting” (sic ) Polititians to put up more roadblocks for hard working Canadians.
If you can’t beat them, just change the rules of the game!
My wife Sylvie and I were in Toronto at the Auto Show and we were invited to a sneak preview of the Toyota 3rd generation 2010 Prius. The car is quite impressive with all the new technology. Sylvie and I were on camera giving our impressions.
The video in French is at www.prius.ca/fr and the video in English is at www.prius.ca/en
It feels pretty strange to be on the Prius main site talking about Prius products when we know the fights we had with the car companies just a year ago on imports.
Serge Bergeron www.CarsWithoutBorders.com and www.Prius.ca
The Prius and Toyota are very good products BUT we also want good and fair pricing.
