I've always wondered why it's totally progressive and A Good Thing for the City of Vancouver to import such vehicles, but bad when we do.

Sigh.

They're not 'getting around' the import rules, they've probably got them on the road under some special dispensation which allows for demonstration and testing purposes. Real-world testing is always different that in-house, and by testing in Vancouver Mitsubishi can better gauge a different market of drivers than their own domestic market. At 160 km/charge, it's a pretty bold range - Chevy's Volt was supposed to get that much, but it probably weighs twice what the MiEV weighs.loki wrote:I'd like to know how they can get around the import rules, this is setting a precedent that could possibly be used to crack the whole thing wide open, but I'm no lawyer and I'm sure it would require a ton of money to even explore.

I've seen a Mitsubishi ad on TV with a left-hand drive MiEV driving around San Francisco. It's such a cool little car I'm sure they have lots of people wanting to buy them. I'd settle for a gas engine i.MardyDelica wrote:hi, laura,
there is a original left hand drive miev
we as a dealer were allowed by transport canada to bring in any kind of cars or truck for a total maximum lenght of 11 month.
after that we need to take it out of the country this is only for testing purposes.
they allowed us to do it.
need a special letter from transport canada to approved it before you can bring it in.
Cheers;
