Unfortunately Nissan Canada doesn't give us the same choices as our southern neighbors. I feel so discriminated against.

Don't get me started about the crappy clutches in 370Z's. I could write a book lol
My wife and I imported an '05 Lexus LS430 5 years ago (and sold it three years ago), so I am intimately familiar with the importation process.

For the heck of it, I just checked out Nissan USA's "build your vehicle". The base with auto trans is minimum $32,125 USD, which today converts to $41,832 CAD. That CAD is without all taxes, import fees, transportation fees, converting to KM/hr as the main scale (which I understand can be done merely by replacing the faceplate on the speedo), etc. The price will end up being less than our minimum auto option, but for less than that amount one can buy a new 2014 auto with all the bells and whistles. Check autotrader.ca listings for BC and you'll see one example. Then there all the used automatic vehicles as options to new.
