Finally, I read some news and reports that the 2007 and newer Scion tC vehicles are legal to be imported into Canada! Finally! This is absolutely great news considering the fact that this car is bound for success and is a respectable addition to Toyota’s lack-of-a-sports-car lineup. I just hope they start making them available at dealerships instead of relying on importers to bring them up North.
With that great news, comes some rather exciting news that the new Nissan Skyline GT-R will be hitting North America in 2008 and it will feature a 450 hp twin-turbo variation of the 350Z engine, with an all wheel drive drivetrain and a 0-60 goal of 3.8 seconds. But the downside of this news is that the car will rival the price of a Porsche and that will translate to the rare sightings of this car on the road anywhere. Regardless, I’m all for the return of the Skyline and I hope to see one on the road in the near future.
