There are only 2 Renault 5 Turbo II's in Canada. I saw one yesterday in Etobicoke (Toronto) when I took my son on a walk and talked to the owner for a bit. It was imported by some guy in Montreal and had it sitting there. The current owner bought it for $30,000 CAD. It is a 1984, left stock except for the exhaust and it only has 70,000 km on the odo. No SR20 because my iPhone broke and didn't think of bringing a camera with me. Never thought I would ever see one in Canada. The thing is awesome. A mid-engined french hatchback with history in rallying? Yes please!

There's one in Canada?!?!?! Must go to Etobicoke must go to Etobicoke. Sadly my area's more Mercedes and Maseratis than 5 Turbos and Integrales.

I want one, but in Panda colors.

Also, this has got to be one of the best pictures on Wikipedia:

I too want one, especially after seeing one in person and hearing it when the guy left. The want is so strong.

That is probably THE best wiki picture. Awesome mid-engined hatchback is awesome.

Coolest thing I remember seeing in Scarborough right now is a Viper ACR and an old Shell gas station truck. I'll find my pic of the Shell truck, can't say the same for the Viper ACR (that was when I still had a flip phone)

Man I have seen so many nice cars in Toronto and the GTA. To name a few: Murcielagos, Tesla Models S', Deloreans, 458's, Vipers, Zondas. Here are some of the pics that i can find

I've only ever seen Model S's as far as Teslas go. I've spotted a couple DeLoreans, and some late-90's-early 00's Ferraris. I barely leave Scarbs though, so car spotting for me is regulated to affordable old gems like AE86s, FJ40's and 280Z's.
