so, i was out for a drive this morning when all of a sudden i see a very unfamiliar car, coming closer to it, it begins to look like an 06 accord, until i saw the black roof(on a silver car). got close enough to find out it was a Scion tC, with ontario plates :| . so why do ppl say you cannot bring scions into canada, when here is one, and i have seen quite a few xB's aswell

with money anything is possible.
Whoever bought these cars from the states paid a hefty amount in duties and also voided their warranties... or rather won't be able to get warranty service here in Canada.
In recent years it was some sorta Canada-US aggrement with regards to the warranty of the cars because too many Americans were buying up Canadian desinated cars... now vice versa because of the change in currency.

Where did you hear that? My friend works at don valley north and they warrant xB's. They even helped a customer take delivery of one coming up for the US.
tC's a different story. It's on the list of cars not being able to import to Canada due to bumper regulations. Unless it's brough up as a show car and is not to be driven on streets..maybe the person just drove it anyways.
Do a search..there are lots of threads on importing cars from the US.

I don't think it looks that great. I saw it in Car and Track earlier today. Unique in Canada but other than that...not very impressive.

from far away it looks like an accord, but once you get closers it resembles the cobalt coupe

I saw it on Yonge St a couple of times, it's an okay looking car. But the 2006 Civic Coupe sort of made it moot.

The front reminds me of the Skyline R34 nose
