$10 fee (Tax) for going through emissions....
And like $30 registration fee (Tax)

Yours sounds much more....err, much less desirable.
The hilarious thing about the companies trying to ban new imports on super-minor safety and security is the flip side: I own a JDM Supra, it is provincially inspected and insurable as soon as I pass emissions.

You would think that the steering wheel ON THE WRONG FREAKIN' SIDE would be an issue. Not at all. But a little electronic difference in the immobilizer of new cars. Trouble. Go figure.

I can't really complain too loudly due to the availability of inexpensive JDM goodness.
