I know most of this forum is US consumers but maybe someone has some incite on why the big difference in costs. I have shown the various exchange rates current, recent and what exchange rate it would take to make the markup close to zero.
Below is a comparision of an Enclave loaded. Only way to compare due to how the cars are packaged in Canada fewer options and mostl of the options built in on the CXL model.
When I made some slight comment to the sales person he made a comment that the difference was about 10% and he did not know why.
I live right on the border of Michigan so why can I not purchase the vehicle in the US?
