But I would expect that under the current +20% system, the Camaro should cost no more than 33k for the base V8 and around maybe 40k for SS-Z28, which isn't bad. I just hope that we can get them for US prices!
oh, and one differnance will be that our speedometer will be in km/h rather than mph.

I think I could live with a 10-15% price difference with the states.... in which case I would just buy here in Canada....But when the difference goes up too much its hard to justify...
Because the Mustang is in comparison on these forums... take the mustang V8 deluxe in comparison to the same optioned Canadian mustang... American $26,500... Canadian version $35,500... that's roughly over 30% price increase... almost 9 grand!! Say after the all that bs paperwork and everything from crossing border, etc... say you only save 6-7 grand ....its still quite a bit of $$ and worth your time I would say.
I think where you will be able to save some really good $$$ is going to be on the SS-Z28 models. I think by the time this car comes out the pricing difference on vehicles below 35 grand wont be worth people's time and effort.... but once you jump over 40 I think you will be able to save a minimum of 5 grand at-least.... more expensive the car, more the savings.... my dad was looking at the new Audi S5..... price difference of 20 grand!!!!!
Anyways thats my ramble.
You think we might get some different winter packages for Canada... seen that one before on other cars??
How about different safety features due to legal differences here in Canada?? Cant think of any.
