Other than the harsher winter, what possibly is SO different in Canada vs. the US that they should have 1 iota of difference in their vehicle lines from the US, other than the speedo change? Seriously. What? That has never made sense, and I don't think it does to people on either side of the border.
If I live in Canada and can buy an Insignia-Regal, but move 10 miles over the border and only have the Lacrosse...in land that's the same, people that are pretty much the same, etc. Whatever goes to Canada should go to the US and vice verse.

In some cases, it is due to the size of the market. The latest GTO was not sold here because GM did not feel the market was large enough to make it economically feasible.
Don't know the reasoning behind bringing the Regal here and not the U.S. Lacrosse is called Allure here. The Lacrosse name could not be used because it is too close to French-Canadian slang for an activity GM wouldn't want associated with its car.
