Follow the money trail and you may find out that taxes/fees and different vehicle regulations may be some of the answers.

I have to agree here with my fellow Canadian. They interviewed a director of regional sales for Lexus on Global TV and he basically said the reason they charge 25 grand more for a Lexus RX350 in Canada then the US (even when they are built in Canada) is because the market here in Canada will support the price (meaning people are willing to pay the higher price). There is no justification for the higher price just they can ask it and people are willing to pay. All taxes and freight are payed by the customer upon delivery so extra taxes is a crock. The only reason you pay a little more is to Canadianize the vehicle to meet Canadian requirements for emissions and instrumentation (which can add about 3000 grand to the price). So asking 16 grand more for the Enclave CXL here in Canada (62 grand versa 45 grand US) is a form of gouging. Enclaves and their sister vehicles here in Canada are over filling the lots because they are not selling (no waiting here).
 
I will seriously consider purchasing my Enclave in the US. By the time I get it here Canadianized and such I will have saved around 10 grand total taxes in and everything. I know its not the dealers because they do not set the prices, so GM has to smarten up or go broke here in Canada.
 
I know they have lowered some prices (cash purchases only) here in Canada and even then only by 6 grand were is the extra break for the consumer, not enough in my books.
 
Just my thoughts

Buick Enclave- White Diamond Tri-coat... by fireflyslk

Finally, I am driving my Buick Enclave....I ordered one in Feb. and was still waiting. I received a phone call from another dealership and they had one just like the one I had ordered except different color interior and tow package. I went to see it and I bought it after much negotiation. $4,000 under MSRP. I absolutely love it and it is the most beautiful car I have ever driven. Not sure what the deal is with GM. I was given no info on the car that I ordered and reading all about the strikes and closing of plants. So, I grabbed this one while I had the chance. Sorry to the car saleman because they are put in a bad position. Is this a selling tactic to make people want something they can't have yet? Crazy.

EXCELLENT! Enjoy. We waited over 17 weeks for ours Sept 07 to final delivery on 2 Jan 2008; the dealer finally gave us a free rental for the last few weeks... We really enjoy ours also, I rarely get to drive it but my wife is very happy. Knock on wood, it has been a joy to own; and our kids love it too. We have only seen a few (3 total) on the road around us and have a lot of people ask us about it. We had a Lexus before this and feel it is has as good or better ride; it does ride better than my in-law's RX330. It does drink gas, but we knew that in the beginnig.

Thanks...congrats to you, also.....I test drove the Mercedes R350 and I thought that was the car that I wanted until I saw the Enclave. Never owned a Buick so was apprehensive about buying one. I have spotted a few and I was the one going crazy. Now that I have one (since Saturday) I am getting lots of attention. I am guessing you are right about the gas...I am watching my gauge dwindle quickly. Good luck with your car and I am so glad I did not have to wait that long. If this opportunity did not fall on my lap, I am not sure when I would have gotten the one I ordered. No information was given on the date it would be built. i don't have to worry about that now. My kids think it's cool. Guess that's the real ok.

Finally Am Enjoying the CXL Enclave by bondguy1

Got it last Saturday...only had it for 4 days now. My mileage according to the AVG Mileage indicator so far is about 20.5 MPG. Not too bad considering how big and roomy this SUV is. Dealer experience has been good so far. I am adding the chrome strips between the windows (on the bars between widows) as I have seen this on other cars and it looks great, especially on a dark car like my black Enclave. I love the way the dash lights up at night. I think if they stuck a Lexus badge on the outside of this car, they would be one of the best selling cars at a Lexus dealer. I have never owned or planned on owning a GM vehicle but must say, its really an amazing car and truly think this could be a huge step in the right direction for GM. Now just add the Bluetoogh and keyless pushbutton start/entry to car and I'm all set. If you drive this car, you will get one over the Lexus, Acura or Mazda CX9. Love It !!!! PS... Got the Black exterior with Black Leather Interior

I have had my car since Saturday too.....Loving every minute of it. My gas gauge is showing 15.9 mph. Love the idea of the chrome strips...I will look into that. I agree that this is a superior vehicle. Lexus owners will be jealous. Can't compare. Bluetooth and keyless pushbutton would make it complete, Love it...
