thought you can't really get Mercs and BMWs to Canada due to you HAVE to let the dealership to do things that will cost a lot?

Can't you import almost any vehicle from the US to Canada? used... don't think so if they're new.
know some guy who wanted to buy an Audi A5 or Aston Martin down in Seattle, new... and they couldn't be brought up.

There is a distinction:
A US "official" dealer is not allowed by US Corporate headquarters to sell a new car to a Canadian.
US Gov / Cdn Gov honestly don't care as long as you pay the taxes.
Nearly all of it is car manufacturers trying to protect their Canadian franchise owners. Quote:

Any other brands you cannot import?

You can import Hondas, you just can't buy them new from Honda dealers as a Canadian.
You want a new Honda from US? Get your relatives in the US to buy you one, then transfer it to your name. Quote:

Also, dont' forget about warranty if you're buying something new (or relatively new). Some manufacturers won't honour a US warranty in Canada.
