Volkswagen Canada has dropped the prices on nearly all of its vehicles — by as little as $200 on the two-door Rabbit to as much as $5,800 on the Touareg V8. The reductions took effect on Feb. 15.
This is in response to the rising Canadian dollar, which has made buying a VW in the United States much cheaper than buying one in Canada. Millions of Canadians live close to the border and many have saved thousands by buying a vehicle in the USA and driving it back.
Volkswagen is following the lead of other automakers, which have been dropping their Canadian prices since last fall.
