Well the latest closing of the CAD was 0.9953 for one $1 USD..

SO as usual the Lexus brand is over priced in Canada...

The $68,500 Cad IS-F is the same as the $60,965 Usd IS-F (w/out Park Assist)

So why the huge price gap?? i'm not sure.....

Looks like BMW will be overcharging Canadians even more than Lexus. The M3 sedan will start at $69,900.

That makes the IS-F 5K cheaper in Canada. A loaded IS-F will cost roughly the same as a base M3 sedan in Canada.

The luxury car market is much, much bigger in the U.S.
California alone is a bigger market for luxury cars than all of Canada. Lexus is taking less profit in the US market due to the weak USD, but more volume in U.S. market = Lexus can afford to take less profit per car compared to Canada . . .
