My mom had a '83 Mercury Gran Marquis that was from canada, and it still had the original speedo and odometer in KPH. It did have MPH, but it was the smaller inner set of numbers. I'm not sure when the car was imported as it was a '83. Laws could have changed in 24 years.

Dude, I've done my homework. If I were to get this car Used RS 5-door for $17,000, this is how it pencils out:
$17,000 + 7% ($1190) GST (PST can be exempted) = $18,190 Can at 4.935% exchange = $17,334.54 U.S. + 2.5% Duty (on pre-tax) = $17,739.55 + 8.4% Use Tax (on pre-tax) (Washington State) = $19,100.39 If Registered Importer were required, add another $400 and another $400 if they require speedo change. Last time I did these numbers at 13% exchange, and you could still get the GST rebated, and it came out roughly even Canadian to U.S. Now it just doesn’t make sense to do it. |

I keep checking www.pressroom.toyota.com to see when the 2008 pricing/changes will be announced.

I wish Toyota would forgo the useless body moldings and add some useful items like a tach and cruise control.

Well, there's no info yet on the Web site about whether it'll have a tach or not (or did I miss it?). I am literally on my way do the dealer to talk to them about a possible trade in on my xB for a 2007 Yaris, but I figured I'd look here first. If I could get an '08 liftback with a tach, I'd wait. Otherwise, I'd shoot for an '07.

heh, more practical i would say. shoot, i would be annoyed if i didn't have a tach too.
for me, cruise control is okay. i guess i don't drive far enough to make that useful. |
