It was made once where the NSX was made... once

Don't forget about the Insight. It was made in the same factory as the S and NSX. Since I have the S and the Insight, I keep telling the wife we need the third to complete the collect, but she doesn't believe me.

Actually its made in Canada, Ottawa I think. Its really just a Civic in drag.

(Just having some fun, they're all actually made in China by the company thats going to start making the MG)

Just pay your 6.1% and $220 RIV fee and $100 AC tax and 6% GST, and whatever your PST rate is cuz at a 88 cent dollar you'll still be thousands ahead.

EDIT: just saw your civic pics in the gallery... Please, no provincial tax in Alberta!!! You're worried about 6% duty?

I concur

Its not that Im worried about the 6.1% duty, I just wasnt sure if it was made in the US or in Japan. What made me wonder about this in the first place is after looking at my Civic. Guess what? Its made in Canada! So yeah, thats what got me thinking.

With the current echange rate as of right now, even after taxes and duty and such, I will still come out ahead.
