I got what he was saying how much they are up there. I still don't see how 1.0667 CND to 1 USD (xe.com) would cause that much of a difference. taxes? |

Couldnt have said it better We are all lucky to be getting what we are getting...How you can ask for more? I dont know. I'm stoked about the SS and couldnt imagine more. From GM's Canada videos and the extensive testing and reviews, this car is

The Canadian economy and pricing structure is set up for an exchange rate of about 0.75 USD to 1.00 CAD. Thats fine when the echange rate varried from 0.70-0.80 but now that our dollars are roughly equal, everything seems to be more expensive here. And Canadians cannot buy a new car in the US. We can buy used no problem.
The main reason why things can't really change much is because it would lead to massive deflation which is very undesirable in an economy.

Yup. And there's taxes too. Lots of taxes. If you think cars are expensive, don't even think about buying beer or cigarettes. Hmm,

The best info we have is GM's response to that question: We don't talk about future products

I have been holding out on my Z28 rant for a long time...
Haven't read through all 25 pages to see if it's been said. For everyone comparing the Z28 to a GT500. I think it needs to be said. The GT500 was not available at the beginning of the new generation. The high performance (not saying the SS isn't) version of cars will, very often, not come out for a year or two after the basic models do. This was also the case with the M3. Typically, things like this just take time. And I also think the price issue needs to be mentioned. If it should come out, I wouldn't say that it would be priced near the GT500. You need to realize, when the GT500s get made, it isn't ford that does it. They send it to Shelby out in Las Vegas, and they do the work on it. Think about it, every one of those GT500s comes out of Las Vegas. This shipping process has to cost a pretty penny, not to mention, Shelby is gonna want to make some money out of it too. All of this, especially when combined with dealer markups, makes it a very expensive car. The only way that the Z28 will be in that price range is if GM decides to send them out to SLP or something like that. Which for some reason, I doubt will happen when they have a 550 hp engine sitting around. I would like to mention, I love the Z28. I have one. I was disappointed when I didn't see it on the spec sheet. I have faith it will come though. May be slightly out of date. My internet has been SOL, so I dont know how much people have been freaking out. |

I stand by my post as 100% correct Because I was exactly right when we guessed on all the engine specs a while back.
