Best bang for the bucks, cars from the states

Something made in North America so you can save on the Duty tax.

Not to mention, most come standard with SatNavs.. and there seems to be more S4 Avants with a 6 spd manual to choose from..

I'm leaning towards a regular S-Line 2.0T wagon now, only because it'll cost way less (servicing + gas).. I drove a whooping 50,000kms in the last 13 months :eek:

thumper 10-14-2009 01:06 PM

yeah. the s4 isn't exactly stingy on fuel :(

HonestTea 10-14-2009 01:36 PM

How come S4's are so cheap? And are they made in NA? Save on the ridiculous 8.1% tax..

However the new 2010 S4 looks beastly!

too_slow 10-14-2009 02:13 PM

^Supply and Demand.. Nah, the S4 is built in Europe, so you'll still have to pay the duty

The new S4 is nice, but you can't beat the growl of a 4.2 V8 FSI engine with a MTM exhaust system.

If you're willing to spend 60K OTD on a new S4, you can import a RS4 from the states

Meowjin 10-14-2009 05:58 PM

m3's

I'm almost tempted to do this but I'd have to sell my B5 S4.

Mugen EvOlutioN 10-14-2009 08:40 PM

and luxury vehicle...since canada jacks up the price by some retarded %

k20a 10-14-2009 10:49 PM

The majority nowadays are just S2000, STi's and EVO's. You'll be seeing tons of EVO IX MR's in BC. hahaa

getalove 10-14-2009 10:58 PM

IS350 .. 38k out the door
