canadian class action lawsuit

We as Canadian(s) are legally not allowed to buy new cars from the states. Or at least according to Toyota USA. As well Canadian Toyota dealerships are not allowed to import and selling you a new car from the USA.

However you can buy used car, and go through the process listed on www.riv.ca

To give you an example:
Yaris RS = 19k (Canadian)
Yaris S = 16k (American)

WRX STI = 49k (Canadian)
WRX STI = 33k (American)

here is a link to the law firm which has initiated this, i'm sure contacting them would be a first step:

Don't forget that the S hb is far less kitted out than the RS. S= No 5-door, no ABS, no fogs, no spoiler, 60/40 only with power package (w/o alloys, standard build, but extra).
I looked in to purchasing a dealer used RS in Vancouver a while back, but at the time, exchange (18.5%) didn't make up for taxes (8.5%), duty (2.5%), importer fees ($400). Now with the Loonie at par....no way. I assume you'd pay higher duty, since every other Canadian tax is higher.
Good luck
