Default Class action suit against car-making companies

<quote>
A B.C. class action lawsuit claims some big car-making companies are trying to restrict your right to buy a car from the United States. The lawsuit names manufacturers like Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.

...

MacDonald says depending on make and model, you might end up paying up to 50% more for a car in Canada compared to the United States. He points out similar lawsuits have already been successful in Europe.

It's about freaking time if you ask me. Too bad Audi's not on a list, which consists of BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota and Volvo.<ul><li><a href="http://www.news1130.com/news/local/article.jsp?content=20080324_195020_4828">News 1130 article</a></li></ul>

Default Not gonna happen easily. Im just waiting to see what CDN companies do...

Lexus is offering MASSIVE discounts to the point of matching the USD prices in Canada. Very surprising if you ask me, considering thats a 20K+ discount on higher end vehicles in their lineup.

Yeah, one was started months ago. No progress. It'll take years, probably no resolution.

Your attempts at "damage control" are getting really tiring. That's why the F was there.
