Really angry about this and have to vent. Ford Canada does it again.... IMHO, they must have sat around a room and flippantly said lets add a few Thou for each of us by pricing this car way higher than it should be. If asked, we will just say its priced to the market or some such gobblygook, Canadians are too stoopid to know the difference....
What I'm talking about is today the pics on Ford Canada's site have an overlay print saying "Starting at $ 29,999". I'll save you the trouble of doing the math, that's a 26.5% higher price than the base ST in the States, and our dollar is close to the same value as it has been for months. I don't know if the base car here will be the same or not, but lets say the Canadian base car is basically like a ST2 optioned US car, its STILL priced 11.6% higher!
