Why does Honda have this rule? because of the price differences. They want to make it as difficult as possible to import. otherwise, everyone will just import and the Canadian dealerships will just sink.
In theory it should have nothign to do with registering your car, but in practice it has everything to do with it. We'vehad people sue about the big price differences, but with no luck. Manufacturers claim we have more stuff in it. I mean come on, look at the latest Mercedes catalog and one of the first things it talks about are all the features CANADIAN Mercedes customers get... which is again a bunch of bs.

this must be a honda thing, as toyota and BMW have zero problem with people north of the border buying, registering, and insuring cars up here and then still having warranty. This is a dumb move from honda as i know for one, that my family will be purchasing our next car as a toyota instead of a honda due to the differences in warranty (north america wide vs. US/Canada) - but then again honda is doing a lot to drive away a family of 5 honda/acuras, but that's a different story
