all it will cost is $45 000US.... damn....
US - Yes. Canada - No. Canada's really strict on importing non federalized cars nowadays. US has some loopholes (plus a new law) that allows rarely driven "show cars" to be imported if they are made in small numbers.

Would it be possible to get the car in my sig into Canada (not likely, cause only 40 were made ) or other models of the Vantage from England?
"Its because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everyone does everything."
Canadian law dictactes that no vehicle that was not made to comply with the transportation code of canada, ie. at time of manufacturing, cannot be made/modified to comply with canadian standards. So basicaly no car can be imported to canada from overseas and be legaly regestered with the canadian regrestar and driven on canadian roads. There are a few exceptions: 1 if u are from another country and move here for school or work, u can import ur car and drive it here temproarly. 2, cars can be improrted for show/collector purposes only. Only driven on a race track. 3. cars older than 10 or 12 years qualify for the collector imports. Cars cannot be imported to the US and then imported to canada, ie. the r33's adn r34's that are being imported to the us. The regestar needs a letter of compliance from the manufacturer, it is impossible to get one if the vehicle is not manufactured for canada.
There are however, people who import cars in halves and weild them together when they get here, u can run a D plate instead of having the car registered.
There is a JDM right hand drive integra in calgary, can't say where tho.....

i know of a few imported JDM RHD cars in Vancover. with enough money you can make anything happen. thats all i got to say......
There are some loopholes in Canada though, but the people that know them guard the secrets pretty tightly. I mean, there's an F40 in calgary, a few R34's and Ford Escort Cosworths in Vancouver. Those are not listed anywhere on the registry of imported vehicles site (http://www.riv.ca).

Why waste time importing? Within two years you'll be able to buy a Evo from a mitsu dealer anyways.
who knows. maybe some people just can't wait or don't want the detuned piss water version. if i was going to buy one i wouldn't mind waiting a little longer with the steering wheel on the correct side.Originally posted by 4wheeldrift

EDIT: No, nevermind, this is importing from the US. From overseas still cannot be done legaly.

Vantage or DB7 Vantage? They're 2 different lines of cars, the DB7 is sold in Canada, there's a dealership on Burrard St in Vancouver.Originally posted by legendboy

Hehe, they already have the watered down Evo 7 wannabe in the States. The Lancer OZ
My boss has one (Lives in States though), he seems to really like it. The OZ just looks like a WRX w/o the fancy hood. Now the EVO 7.. That's another story . Don't think I'd spend 45 500 US to import it to the states if I lived there though.
I saw a Lancer about a week ago in Chinatown. It had Montana plates on it or something. Something is wrong with that C-pillar...
Well, since no one knows what the final specs on the US market Evo VII are going to look like its hard to say if it will be detuned or not, and what equipment it will carry. Lots of rumors everywhere, but nothing solid at all.Originally posted by 2000impreza
