This is not as big a deal as everyone is making of it. I remember when a Spec V was ~$18K in the States and ~$21.5K in Canada. At the time, it was a savings to buy in Canada.

Pricing, as the Toyota rep noted, is not based on exchange rates unless it hurts you (see the pricing of VWs right now as a case in point, or the price of the Japanese sports cars in the early 90s).

And gouging is not illegal. If it was, every flower shop in Canada would be shut down for it every February 15th. You are allowed to charge what the market will bear, which is exactly what they are doing.
