Spread the combined sales of California (roughly) over 3,851,809 sq. miles vs. California's 155,973 sq. miles. That's 20 TIMES. Consider the fact that Canada consumes roughly 7-8% of NAFTA production while contributing roughly 17%. That's TWICE as much. Staffing. Warrantee administration. Territory sizes = travel expen$e$. And on and on...

Here's a better question to ask the public at large: Why does a gallon of gas cost sooo much more in Canada, where it's found and pumped from, than it does in far-off places in the US?

You'll get a similar "list" of "reasons".

Bottom line...it just IS.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND NOT A LEGITIMATE REASON.
California sells way more cars than idaho too, so should they have to wait longer for ordering info, and pay more for their cars?
That reasoning means nothing to anyone.
Canada sells more cars than montana so should they wait till after us?
The Camaro is built in Canada, so shipping, and logistics are no excuse.

So I see no legitimate reasons or response from GM, and must assume it is simply a rip off until I am given LEGITIMATE reasons.
