You can import them. You have to pay 6.1% duty on top of the federal and provincial taxes. You have to pay a RIV fee of $200, and you have to get the DRLs and the spedo changed to Kilometers. I also heard rumor that if you can't get a recall clearence letter in the US for the car you buy, you have to pay Porsche Canada $500 to get it.
You would have to get a pretty sweet deal on a US car to make it worthwhile.

As far as the wrong side of the road, I think I could figure it out!! :-)
