Can anyone explain why the base MSRP price for a 3 door DSG is $26570 CDN ($23065 US) in the US but is $30775 CDN in Canada? Are Canadian buyers being ripped off by $4200?
I did a cost comparison with the MSRP for the Civic Si. It's ($20290 US) $23374 CDN in the US but up here the MSRP is $26080, a $2700 diference.
As I expected, in Canada the sat nav system on either car isn't even available as an option. Even on Canadian built cars such as some Hondas, they are available in the US market in year one but don't become available in the Candian market until year two or three.
I've enquired about both vehicles in Calgary. No dealer is prepared to move on the inflated MSRP.
Supply and demand. Larger market in the US, prices in general would be cheaper.
