But wait! Isn't the Canadian dollar worth more than the US dollar now? Yes it is. To in Canada the base Impreza starts at the equivalent to $22,163 USD!!! WTF!?! Almost $5k more for the same car???

$17,495 USD
$22,163 USD (Canadian price converted to USD)
Same car.
Before ridiculous Canadian tax.
The car companies are also trying to say that some safety or anti-theft component is different between the US and Canadian models so the US ones are 'unsafe' to import (legal issue, but total and complete BS!). Trying to prevent cross-border shopping to prop up thieving Canadian dealers.
(Not just Subaru...)
