This exchange has gotten off topic, but to reply to John Cummings, despite the lure of vehicles, even those made in canada, being much cheaper south of the border, in most cases by the time the feds get through with you with customs duties, taxes, and other fees, it comes out almost even and not worth the trouble. Unless you've found something special or some configuration not readily available here. Bottom line is we can't win! Here's a link to a step by step dialogue of how to buy a car in the US.

We live in Ottawa and bought a new Honda Accord V6 in Watertown, NY in 2007. We saved about $7K over the Canadian cost. I recently contacted the salesman in Watertown for a friend and they've been told by Honda America that there license will be pulled if they sell another new car to a Canadian. What happened to 'free trade?'
