   Canwest News are today carrying a banner headline story across Canada,   
   detailing how HONDA Canada is cheating Canadians who buy Honda   
   vehicles in the USA.   
      
   Many Honda cars are now manufactured in Canada, and sold in both   
   Canada and the USA.   
      
   However, Honda prices in the USA are at least $7,000 LESS than in   
   Canada, even though the vehicle may have been made in Canada.   
      
   Buyers of Honda cars from the USA, even though they complied with all   
   the rules and regulations of both US Customs, and Canada Customs,   
   are now being told by Honda Canada, that their vehicles no longer will   
   meet Canadian government standards!!   
      
   Apparently, HONDA Canada wants to continue swindling by overcharging   
   customers in Canada, and wants to support the gouging Honda dealers   
   in Canada. It is now stating that its' vehicles - all of the 2008 models other   
   than the 2008 Acura TSX, TL, RL and Honda S2000 no longer meet   
   Canada safety standards if you try to bring one in from the USA, at a huge   
   saving!!   
      
   TV news this week had a feature with a lady customer from Edmonton,   
   who bought her new Honda in Spokane, and saved herself, after all costs,   
   over $7,000.  Apparently the scummy Honda dealers in Canada had   
   refused to budge on their asking price, while the US dealer would.   
   Honda, like Bombardier, is also advising all US dealers, to NOT SELL TO   
   CANADIANS!!   
      
   Not only is HONDA screwing customers, but now also TOYOTA Canada   
   is trying to support the excessive profits for itself and Toyota dealers   
   in Canada.   
      
   Toyota now claims that its' models including 2008 Yaris, Hatchback, Corolla,   
   Prius and Matrix are no longer safe for Canad, if bought in the USA to save   
   many thousands of dollars!
