Nice pics, thanks! The GTR looks awesome to me from that angle for some reason.

Nice pics.

Why am I not surprised there is a Car and Driver decal on that BMW ?

Only 25++% tax to own most of those in Canada.

Actually...it's 13% tax. PDI tends to hover around $1200-$2000. But, the MSRP for base models tend to be much higher than U.S. equivalents. Upgrades cost a whole lot more and the upgrades tend to come in large packages (e.g. Lexus Ultra premium for 8k+).

Luxury tax, gas guzzler tax, a new huge fuel economy tax coming - check out a couple of examples in this thread and they don't even include the massive PDI paid there (twice the U.S.) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=336726
