Because the MR-S is a US car and was never made here...it doesn't meet our standards. And if you want to import the Japanese one, you'll have to wait until it's 15 years old.

If its brought here and 'Abandoned', when you reinstate the title, you dont need an inspection. Or so I've heard.

I did not know you had to wait until 15 years. That is way too long.

The MR-S was never licensed for here in Canada. You can't replace the bumpers because there was no Canadian model. Toyota would need to say that it meets standards and they won't do that otherwise they'd be selling the car here. This doesn't make sense.
