This is why Canada has 2-3 year waits for some cars that are widely available in the states (i.e. RAV4 Prime, most Toyota Hybrids, etc).
Each automaker has economists that work on shipping just enough cars to maintain market share / repeat sales / etc.
As the credit situation deterioates for specific markets and brands in the States (FCA/GM right now feeling it, Nissan soon), Canada will get more cars.
My predition is Acura/Lexus will soon improve their product mix (no more JUST A-Spec trims on RDX/MDX) and ship more cars again to west coast Canada.
