| | | Actually you can import ANY vehicle into Canada, as long as it's 15 years or older. I drove an '82 2CV-6 (Charleston edition!) for most of last summer, and absolutely loved it. Yeah, it's so so so underpowered (and sounds like a Lawn Boy at idle) but there's something about those cars that I just really like... although I do have a soft spot for most oddball cars. I do have to admit, it was kinda scary driving on the 401 though... when minivans passed me, the car would get blown around. And yeah, it DID go fast enough for the 401... JUST. I think my favourite feature was either the manual headlight tilt knob on the dash, so you can aim the beam up or down, or the inboard single disc brake on the front axle assembly. As for crash safety... they pretty much have the structural rigidity of a tent. There was a video on Youtube of a big truck smashing into a row of 5 or 6 parked cars... the 2CV in this row VANISHES! It's weird they made such a primitive car for so long, when in the 50's they has the DS, which was such a technologically advanced car for the time, and again, the SM in the 70's. I've worked on both, and they're super impressive cars. I mean, the styling is pretty bizzare, but as far as innovations are concerned, wow... yet, the 2CV by the 80's, still didn't have roll down windows.
