IMO - it is totally unfair and price manipulation/ money grabbing. To transport the car from CANADA to Hawaii takes a lot more $$$ then it would to transport and sell the car to a citizen of Canada residing in Oshawa - where the car is produced. It is clearly price gauging at its finest.... |

Im still surprised people continue to think GM gives a hoot about people who have already purchsed a vehicle....they could care less....any decent treatment is at dealer level after the purchase...if it has to do with GM itself, your screwed if they can get away with it in any way......
Ive had both GM and Ford vehicles and though they all have the little things that irritate some people, GM is by far the worst of the two Ive experienced on not following through with the customer experience after the sell, they would rather save two dollars and risk you not coming back than make the customer happy...... Why do people forget so soon that they were all but out of business? that it took a huge government bail out to save them, and they continue to run mainly like they did before.....theres a reason GM went under and Ford did not......and it starts with the customer, before and after the purchase.....GM just doesnt get it.... |

It is totally true. The second they get your cash you are nothing to them. I guess the reason people still think they matter to the corporation is because they live with the notion that people are basically good when it comes down to it. They forget though, business does not involve emotions, good, bad, or anything of that sort. Business is in the cold hard fact, just that, bushiness. It is the process of acquiring wealth while doing as little as possible. Sure some people can argue here for business ethics, but it is what it is. |

As stated, ALL manufacturers do this. So you're not going to buy GM products anymore? Why, if all the manufacturers over charge Canadians? Oh, because GM didn't give you the credit for your hood insert. Charging Canadians more money when the car/or part is made in Canada, you're right, doesn't make sense. You stated you paid over 142k on vehicles? And here you're whining about the ,what is it $650?, you lost out on. Tell me how that makes sense. So why are you so angry? Oh yea, you didn't get your carbon fiber insert for free... |

Alright, so let me get this straight, you're pissed because GM won't give you the hood credit. Okay I got that. But then you said you trade your cars in every 2 to 3 years. Why are you worrying so much about a car that you're gonna trade in in a couple years?

Until Canada can get their act together and manufacture their own National car,NOT a rebadged Ford Or GM product, they're going to have to rely on buying foreign.
They've lacked the skills to come up with their own product since the ill-fated Maniic GT of the late 60s. Even though most of them speak our language and the bordering Provinces are close, They are Still Foreigners and Must pay just like any other foreign country. |

Different country, different programs. Unfortunately living near the border and working in a retail environment I see this all too often. US and Canadian entities are usually NOT the same. As for pricing just look at beer for example. I can buy Labatt Blue which is brewed in Canada and imported CHEAPER than if I took the 10 minute drive across the border and bought it there. If I go into Canada, Bud Light (which is brewed and made by Labatt IN Canada) is almost twice the price than in the US which is brewed by A-B. I see plenty of promotions around here that say "For U.S. Residents Only". Just the way it is.
