^ I mean in the future. If the Frenchies get their way we'll probably follow for some unreasonable reasons.

Evolutions V-X came in LHD format. They were labeled as RS or RSII versions in Europe for rally teams.

You can still import it if it's 25+ years old.

Sounds like the CADA has their hands all over SAAQ.
At least the French can import 89 GTRs, albeit again, in a few more years...

Nothing in the Canadian car market compares.
I can see why the government might be under some pressure to ban these... | THANK YOU  @ all the idiots saying people buy RHD cars to be different
My car was in better condition and cost half as much as the north american counter part, and it has a better engine.
Try finding a low mileage, clean, unmolested 6sp LHD supra locally.  | |

Quebec is like that annoying kid your teachers force you to play with when you're in elementary school... and they have a talk with the whole class about "including others" and don't explicitly say who.. but everyone knows who they're referring to. Looks like quebec might ruin the fun for everyone now.

Driving a RHD car in Canada (or anywhere besides England and Japan) is really stupid. I have seen a lot of them wrecked by the teenagers that somehow managed to buy them. You do 'get use to it', but in Vancouver's retarded traffic, its not the best car for a daily driver. If you do own a RHD performance car, keep it on the mountain roads where it belongs.
...that said, I simply love the GTR's. I'd probably own one if it wasn't for I could build a s chassis (and I am) to be better for the same price. You put $12-$20k into a non rusted S13 coupe, ...you have yourself a car.

You throw them in a LHD Pontiac Firefly they'd crash anyway.

That being said, I don't know how it works over there, but that seems harsh to me. | Considering this isnt in effect til april 29th, I dont think its because it was a RHD car and it was already mentioned cars registered in quebec before apr 29th wouldnt vioalte their new law. Quote:

If it means getting rid of those fugly Delica vans you see driving around, then I'd support the ban 100%.

They are very capable vans that use very little diesel so let them be.

Think about the demographic that buy JDM RHD cars. 19-30 year old Male's mostly? All think they are the drift king and most just crash and cause accidents which insurance companies pay for. I love lots of the JDM only cars, but to drive them here daily is dumb. Better get my JZX100 soon.

I bet the ratio of responsible drivers that own JDM cars is 8:2. But those 2 just fuck everything up every time.
Its all fun and games till someone get's hurt. Which I assume is the case in Quebec.
