It's normal for the buyers in the US not to be charged anything extra, for most of the different C8 exterior colours. Another "Canadian advantage" is Canadians being charged for different colours, contrary to our US counterparts. It's been that way for the start of the C8 line (and perhaps before that for prior generations?).There's absolutely no reason for this difference, other than a "cash grab" from Canadians, when all C8's are produced at the same factory, plus the paint colour doesn't cause the car to weigh more or certainly not enough to cause increased ship costs to Canada. For example with the 10 available colours for the 2023 Stingray:-Canadians are charged extra for 6 of them; US buyers are only charged extra for 4 of them;-US buyers only pay US$500 to $995 for those 4 colours; whereas Canadians pay an extra Can$995 to $1,495 for those 6 colours.Any suggestion that Canadian colour pricing (a 50% to 99% increase, respectively) has any basis in the US/Can exchange rate, is laughable. Having said that, there are a few options that have lower Canadian prices, compared to their US counterparts. It makes no sense. But all of these price differences pale in comparison to the recent/historically out-of-whack Canadian prices announced for the 2024 C8's.
