There were more Oppo’s with FoST’s than FoST’s I had seen in real life up until not long ago. First one I saw here in Alberta had Arizona plates. Still only seen 2 FiST’s here and 4 RS’s.

Everything is expensive in Canada. Just the cost of living in a good country.

Holy crap, I got mine fully loaded minus a sun roof for 11k less than that. I realize that the CAD is weak to the USD, but with the current conversion rate it should still only be in the 31-32 CAD range, 36 is nuts!

I mean, that is metric dollars. How does that exchange rate go?

Add on top of that gas and insurance, which here in BC...

$1.35 a litre for gas, basic insurance coverage is pricey.

yeah.

Yeah, I have a Fiesta ST, but very rarely see others.

That’s right in line with the ST3 here in the states...

That’s in Canadian Loons. After conversion, it’s cheaper than a comparable ST3 in the US (all Canadian FoSTs are ST3s).

Mid-summer, it would have been $26,429.35 in USD.

Also note that Canadians make dramatically more money than we do for the same jobs. Depending on the current exchange rates, they often flood into the US to exploit their high incomes when the exchange rate is near parity, since they make 50-80% more than we do at these times. Their incomes still reflect the exchange rates from the early-00s when they were paying about CAD1.60 per USD...

Yeah. In the Netherlands the base price of the ST is €39k. That includes€5k in VAT and €11k in gas guzzler taxes though. €39k = $46k US = €57.5k CAN
