Default clarifications

Some clarifications:

(1) Lamborghini Canada does not own all three dealerships. They are all independently owned. Lamborghini Montreal is owned by John Scotti and Lamborghini Vancouver is owned by Weissach.

(2) Anyone bringing their Lambo to the border for import is in for a rude awakening. They must conform to Canadian standards aside from daytime running lights -- the bumpers are different for example as are other Federal requirements. A '99 Diablo was recently imported and Federalizion costs exceeded US$35,000. I have tried to get the factory to inform me of the necessary Federalization requirements on both Murcielagos and Gallardos and all that they are willing to state is that the vehicles are different and that US cars do not meet Canadian standards.

(3) This is not only applicable to Lambos or exotics. Mercedes E-Classes for example cannot be imported into Canada for the same reason. This extends to a friend of mine who worked and lived in Seattle for 2 years and when moving back to Canada was unable to import his E-Class.
