That's what Japan gets for trying to dump cars in North America.

I can already picture the conversation at dealerships across Canada.
"Sorry sir, the car you ordered in at the bottom of the Pacific ocean"
"Yeah right, Are you trying to sell my car from under me?
"no, really. It's a true story!"

On the 6th of June I ordered my new '06 which was supposed to arrive by the 30th of June. On the 18th of June the dealer e-mailed me that the car was still sitting on the dock on Japan. I didn't want to wait another month so I purchased a car for a distant dealer. I wonder if my original car was on this ship? Since it's destination was Vancouver B.C., probably not unless US distribution also comes from here.
Canadians waiting for delivery though, might want to check with their dealers for some type of conformation.

That same article says they spotted a a 2-mile oil slick. They also mentioned it was carrying up to 430 metric tons of fuel oil and they don't yet know how much may have been dumped into the water.
