A growing number of GM cars can switch between MPH and km/h, but the Cobalt isn't one of them.

At least the Canadians can talk to a GM rep. and they'll supply a build date. In the states we have to deal with goofy sales guys that barely know the car exists. We end up telling them about it!
Can you Canucks come down and buy a US car and take it back over the border, or is there some bullshit law that doesn't allow that?

^ ^ ^ NAFTA.
North American Free Trade Agreement
There are no duties on things made in the US. the only thing you have to do is pay canadian tax on it according to the province you live in.

$21,995.00 USD = $26,728.45 CAD. Base price for a Cobalt SS in Canada is $24,995. That's almost $1800 before you've even got it to the border
