Trappe Chaude: 2003 Peugeot 206RC

You used to hear a lot of chatter from car guys over here in the New World about how the Europeans always keep the best stuff to themselves. Everything from higher horsepower M3s to special Evolution editions of Cossie powered Mercedes was the stuff of legend back in the day...but globalization changed much of that and we get most everything they get back home in Germany/UK...except we don't get much from France these days, which is a shame...but what you can't get here in the the USA you can get by heading due North.  You might have to move to Canada permanently, but a little snow never killed anybody. Find this 2003 Peugeot 206RC offered for $8900 CAD ($6688 USD) in Laval, Quebec, Canada via Kijiji.net. Tip from Erik202.

Always Raced and Rallied: 2005 Subaru WRX STI Rally Car

Performance rallying: "Real cars on real roads going real fast".  That's what proponents of stage rallying use to describe their niche of a niche sport to the average American.  I'd add "not watched by real people in the U.S." to it.  Something about driving for hours to remote areas to watch cars is a hard sell onm this side of The Pond.  But maybe instead of standing by the side of a dirt road in the sticks, you could have the best seat in the house.  Find this 2005 Subaru WRX STI Rally Car for sale in Vancouver, BC, Canada for $23,555 CAD (about $19,000 USD's at time of writing) via craigslist.

Moose Bitten: 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible


For the most part, Canadian automotive needs have been served by whatever the guys are selling in the USA -- Canada is just treated like the 51st state...which is fine because the USA has always had a varied and interesting offerings from many OEMs.  However, in 1959 the Canucks got their own headlining Pontiac, something called the Parisienne, that had all the sophistication of a Paris coffee shop, but room for a dead moose carcass in the trunk.  Find this 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible offered for $4,500 in South Ft Myers, FL via craigslist.

Born In Canada: 1985 Pontiac Parisienne

If you live in the tropical south you might known this next car as the Chevrolet Caprice, but up in the moose filled land that Jacques Cartier called "kanata", they are known as the Pontiac Parisienne.  Sophisticated, worldly, and reeking of stinky cheese, the Parisienne is the Caprice/Impala you really want.  Find this 1985 Pontiac Parisienne offered for $2,700 in Ft Myers, CO via craigslist.
