Default Importing an RS6 into Canada

Hi,

I am normally on the S4 forums but this is the obvious place to post my question. My dad and I had a chance to drive an RS6 and WOW. The interior, the power, the transmission, the handling - absolutely everything was amazing, and all in a practical car. Anyways we live in Canada. Of course, they are much cheaper in the states however they are not able to be imported. I was wondering if there is something that can be done to make them importable, and if so, what is it? Or perhaps because they are not on the list, no matter what you cannot import them into Canada.

Any insight on this issue would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Mark

I don't have your answer but why can't they be imported?

Try posting in the Canadian regional forum. A lot of guys there with experience doing this.

It has 5 seats, all wheel drive, a big trunk (minus the battery bulge) and all the luxury options anyone would want. Sure, there are more practical cars out there but I thought the RS6 was pretty good.

I believe it has to do with the bumpers and at how many MPH they can take a collision. I believe Canadian standards were slightly higher.
