Have you looked at other makes/models to see if this is a consistent trend? If so, then the "communist state" theories may have merit. If not and the feature lists/std equipment are equal on both sides of our friendly border, it is purely Porsche doing market pricing. They are masters of getting the max the market will bear for their products, and seem to have a real knack for positioning models and features to their best benefit to do this. Is the USD/CAD disparity on the base model similar?

At current exchange rates, the US car is only $62K in Canadian Dollars - $15K cheaper.

Why are cars here (in Canada) so much more expensive than in US?
