    In my limited time in Canada recently, it seemed like most of the cars   
    were Japanese/Korean, with older American cars in the mix. Mind you,   
    this was BC where it's easier to get imported cars from the east   
    without having to transport them across provinces.   
      
    Back in Detroit's heyday, it must have been convenient being right   
    across the border - I remember reading about Canadian-branded GM cars   
    in the 1980s. Now, with American cars being built everywhere, not so   
    much.
