    Google finds a lot of responses saying it has generally been possible

    1. You need to provide evidence that the vehicle meets U.S. federal safety and emissions standards.
    2. But safety and emissions standards have generally been harmonized between us and Canada.

    So you can currently buy a car in Canada for the us because passing Canadian requires is proof that it satisfies American requirements. Protectionism does not currently matter but you’d need to cover tariffs. Maybe that will remain true, at least temporarily

      Maybe wait 20 years , figure out what loophole allowed a handful of Kei trucks to be imported.

      At that point even 20 year old car tech might be more advanced than what we’d be saddled with

      Not certified for the US, won’t be able to be imported to the US. You can stand at the the border with your face against the glass and wish you were Canadian.

    Good. Let’s see them release an anti-Chevy truck and an Anti-Ford truck, so Canadians can give this shithole a proper “what-fer”.
