Would you be surprised to learn that the automatic Toyota Corolla CE, in Canadian dollars with all taxes included, sells in Canada for $20,334.50? This information can be checked at Toyota.ca, which is, I would assume, a valid source. However, when you key in a Detroit postal code, the price given is $15,935. The price difference between the same model of these two cars is $4,500 or, when given in a percentage, more than 25%.
Can you tell me how we can justify such a thing to Canadian consumers when, in fact, our dollar is worth more than the American dollar?
