I think manufacturers have finally started to align their prices with the exchange rate. For example Toyota Canada just last week slashed all their sticker prices in Canada.
An AKG dealer price in Canada would likely be more than Headroom because HR discounts certain products below the MSRP to compete with other Internet retailers.
My buddy was in Bellingham, WA yesterday for Super Bowl and stopped at Costco and Best Buy to compare prices (mostly looked at electronics I think). He said everything was pretty much the same as the Canadian prices except booze and butter. You can thank the taxation levels for the difference on those two.
