I heard a rumor that Transport Canada will shortly let U.S. cars into Canada.

It appears that the Canadian government has lifted the bumper restrictions.

That means, less cars in the US.

U.S. Cars

I don't really think so. Canada has approximately the same amount of cars per capita, I don't think there is a higher demand in Canada than the U.S.
However, I do think it will give canadians a greater selection of cars and will lower the currently protected canadian price.

After looking at the Registrar of Imported Vehicle's previous and recently updated lists, I can confirm any 05-06 GT is now approved for entry in Canada. Hopefully, it won't kill the market for people that actually bought the higher priced "Canadian version"...

I heard about those new bumper laws... have they been put in place yet, or is it still just talk?

No talk...it's a fact. Ford GT's can now be imported into Canada + many other types of sports cars.

All of the Twister Special Mustangs are Grabber Orange but Ford did have Calypso Coral in these years which was an orangy red. :thumbsup
