I haven't seen any other orange RA in TO area (that doesn't mean there aren't any of course). About what time on the 401? (I'm on the 401 to and from work about 2 hrs total a day)

I'm often rollin' around in Toronto in my 2010 RR Ralliart, and I've got the aluminum fuel door also. I'll be keeping an eye out for you guys! On the way home (Belleville) from Brampton, I saw a gorgeous Evo X in Black, we rolled together for a while, but traffic split us up

Newer Ralliart's (but especially Evo X's) are few and far between around Toronto. It's funny when you're cooking it down the highway like that and you see one, it's very hard to tell the difference between an RA and an Evo at 120KM/H. I always stop what I'm doing and take a look and my wife is wondering what the hell is wrong with me. That's the cost of being a Petrol Head!

Most likely was me, orange, with aluminum door. I've seen I think 5 RA's since I got mine (march 09) (probably same one a couple times, black) and EVO's only a few maybe 3. Kinda surprising considering the traffic on 401, thought there would be more. Still, makes us more unique, I often see drivers checking out my car. I see a lot more wrx's then RA, though not very many STI's.

There is a newfie RA owner on ca.dsm.org that I talk to all the time... and a couple of Evo owners in Toronto that I try to get a bit of advice from here and there, but it's true, still not seeing very many of them

I saw one grey metallic one at an autoslalom event in Picton back in May, but I was driving my talon at that event, so I couldn't truly appreciate the side by side parking adventure I was aiming for. lol.

I was looking into getting the Ralliart from the states but didn't think it was worth the hassle. Also the pricing is not all that different. The American ones don't come with HID's, and Recaro seats and a few other things. What's your take on the whole importing "experience"?
Thanks
