(Hee Hee sorry Liz I had to Hee Hee
) I have lived here and In Dallas and San Francisco and yes while many things are cheaper when you work the average exchange rate into things, there are quite a few things we are loosing on yes... but there are also some things we are either close to, at par, or actually winning on
So Ya Canada on some things
This is from Slice June of this year...check it out its kind of surprising and these are just a few...also remember Magna International is in Aurora and is a big GM Supplier so maybe they are helping us out as this is a thing you get through the dealership (LPO) no duties no exchange Made in Canada
if something is actually made here
they do have like 30+ plants in Canada YAYYYYYYYY Magna
I thought this was kind of a cool read.....I took bits out of it there were a bunch more but these ones are pretty cool to see I thought.
To bad our C8s were not as close or better hahahahahahahh
hahahahahahahahha
Rent
Rent for a city centre apartment in a
Canadian city is an average of $1,167 per month for a one-bedroom and $1,885 for a three-bedroom. In the United States, similar apartments will cost you an average of $1,464 and $2,363, respectively.
When I was in San Francisco Rent was like $2500 to $3000 US a month for like a 800 sq. ft. place I am sure it has eclipsed that now. But again that San Francisco not Flint
Hotel rooms
Using the average room rates given by
Price of Travel for several cities in Canada and in the United States, we calculated that a hotel room in a major Canadian city costs on average $261 per night. For a major city in the States, your hotel room will cost $384 on average.
Some new cars

Numbeo, the average cappuccino in Canada costs $3.89. In the United States a similar caffeine fix will set you back $4.84.
Movie tickets
Who would have thought that watching a movie in a Canadian theatre is cheaper than it is south of the border? A cinema seat for an international release in Canada costs on average $13.00 while in the United States it’s an average of $13.55. To see your favourite actors in real life, check out the places

I came up with $98K with FE4 & Z51 - I guess I should email my dealer and ask for the total on my order now that the pricing has been published?
