I don’t think it’s Canadian. Canadians (at least the French ones) seem attracted to the cheapest car possible (Mitsubishi Mirage, no AC) or something with a German badge.
I really miss my Miata. 185 tires and 115 hp. I felt every move. As I’ve said before, I want a 4 door RWD sedan with 185 tires and 115 hp:)
