I plan on importing one in about 3 years....by the time they complete the pre-orders and the other mad rush of orders that will be going in around end of June. Importing is quite easy. I imported my GTM thru Al Biex (from BC). All I did was fill out some papers that he faxed me and sent him a cheque for the kit amount and shipping and import fees. He took care of the rest. Yes there will definitely be parts that will be omited from the 818 kit to import into Canada, but I am sure WHitby motors will help with the missing parts.
Also I will be waiting a few years to order to see what bugs and issues come up with the new kit. Not sure there will be any issues.
