I'm of the same opinion. The "1,000 rule" in the context of the rules
as written most likely applies to U.S. only.

For the most part, especially with newer model cars, there's very
little difference between the mechanical components. The major
differences lie in the trim levels and color availability. All
Camaro's are built in Canada as well as all North American market
Civics. There are, however, a couple of cars that come to mind with
real differences-
US Spec vs Canadian spec E36 M3's: The Canadian versions I think may
have different gearing and possibly more power.
Volvo 850 T5R (and the S70 T5)- Canadian versions are available w/
manual transmissions I believe.
The Acura 1.6 EL (the What?)- This is a Canada only market car.
Basically a 4dr Civic with luxury goodies packed into it and a 1.6L
DOHC VTEC in it. It's Honda's answer to the Infiniti G20 and BMW
318is and it's selling like hotcakes.
