Wow...this could be big.
Up to the Evo 9 I think this was the case not anymore, though if Bumper regulations change ( there's a fair bit of talk about that here) all of the will be mood point and I'll get my Evo from the states.i tought that it was always the front bumper that did not meet the requirements.
Look again.
The car is clearly put in the inadmissible list.

I believe that was for the the older gen evos. The main problem with a US SPEC evo X is the rear bumper.You cant because US spec Evo doesn't satisfy the 5 km crash thing. Wait until summer, I heard that is when Canada might drop that law.
I'll believe it when it happens.I believe that was for the the older gen evos. The main problem with a US SPEC evo X is the rear bumper.
OP at the moment the 2008 evos are not allowed in canada but in 09 there will be no problems getting one. I have already talked to multple companies that import cars and they go by the apa http://www.apa.ca/template.asp?lang=english
Anyways this is exactly what ill be doing next year. Overall cost would be around $2500 CDN if you dotn wanna do any work and around $1000 ish if you do it yourself.
1) of course, but for now there is no restrictions on the 09 EVO XsP7X,
1) APA has no way of knowing for sure what the new import rules will be.
2) As it stands now Mistsubishi does not honour the warranty on any imports.
Maybe not a deal killer but something to consider.
Thats because theres always idiots talkin shit. Atleast my shit is somewhat educatedI'll believe it when it happens.
There were always rumors that the Evo VIII and IX would be allowed into Canada, and guess what... That never happened.
Mitsubishi Canada will do everything they can possibly think of to keep Canadians from importing cars from the US. I am not pesimistic, I am optimistic than Mitsubishi Canada will not allow us to import cars for $10,000 less than they are selling in Canada.Why's everyone so pesimistic? Must be the years of us getting screwed over when it comes to anything to do with cars.
Thanx,
