mainly taxes is what will stop ya, when the exchange rate was favorable for US shoppers(1 USD=1.70CD) you would think you could buy a car on the cheap, but the govt(both sides) made sure no one gets hammered w/lost business(taxes,tarrifs,duty etc.) On the other hand, if you wait a bit, you could pick one up at an auction, you see a few Chrysler Intrepids in WNY. Just my .02

I said when the exchange rate WAS (past tense) favorable, that was b4 george W worked his voodoo and sued his way into office. I read the story on the car and it sounds like they are NOT selling it in Canada ,what are they selling then? Again, just my .02...today's exchange rate!

Huh?? What about the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Caravan? The list goes on and on. All car companies with more than one brand do it. There is no way around it. They would be foolish to spend all that money creating a different platform for every vehicle. Audi and VW do it as well. Honda and Acura, Toyota and Lexus, Nissan and Infinity. How profitable would Lexus be if the ES330 wasn't a rebadged Camry?

What you saw (300C wagon) is ONLY for the Europe market. In Europe, the Dodge brand is still not accepted as a brand of interest, so DCX uses the Chrysler name plate for the sedan and wagon body.
DCX is not GM, in terms of rebadging everying that looks the same and selling it at different dealerships. (like new Saab suv, envoy, trailblazer, new subaru suv, olds....)
