You can only import 15 year old and older cars to Canada. At least, that was when I was figuring out if I could import my Mercedes.

That's not true, as long as the vehicle you are looking to import was originally manufactured for distribution in the U.S. market then you can import a 2012 model if you want. Of course if the vehicle you want to import is not currently registered in the U.S. then you're going to have one heck of a time trying to prove to RIV that it was manufactured to meet U.S. standards. Obviously vehicles over 15 years are a different story,

Yeah, and since European cars do not meet US standards, you can't. UNLESS is it 15 years or older.
BTW, it doesn't matter if that Mercedes is sold in the US or not, if it is manufactured for the European market, you cannot import it to North America. And why would you drive a car manufactured for the North American market in Europe? Especially a European brand?

One of the few real arguments the wife and I had, convincing her just how dumb
an idea that really is





The best solution to the street problem would be to just crush the damn cars.

When you let someone drive your vehicle, YOU are responsible for making sure they are properly licenced. And even if they are, letting a newly licenced driver behind the wheel of a Maserati or Austin Martin by themselves proves you ain't responsible enough to own one anyway.

But, that is not important. ANYONE can own ANY car, regardless of their age and whether they even HAVE a drivers license, right?

Right
