Default RS4 Avant?

I wonder if this proposed legislation would allow some previously unimportable cars to come here...to Canada that is.
This also means that the RS4 Convertible is now going to become importable from the USA...nice.<ul><li><a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/life/driving/story.html?id=452975">HarmonizingBumpers</a></li></ul>

We didn't get the RS4 Avant due to battery location and safety regs.

Default Well it's about time. What a ridiculous standard to have. I can only assume the insurance lobby

was behind the 10km/h crash regs and yes, it might open up more private imports.

Default I don't think it was the insurance the problem but a slightly higher governmental crash standard...

A lot of cars were not allowed in Canada because of it even some Audis.

The B5 A4 Avant never made it here because of a rear bumper/tail gate design. The original TTs had to be modified so were the B5 S4s and it took an extra year for Canada and Audi to work out the RS6 file which apparently cost Audi close to a million dollars to sale roughly 100 RS6s.
