Importing a Canadian Golf R to the U.S.: For anyone that cares. Governmental red tape figured out. Coding figured out. Warranty is a no go. A canadian VW is not covered in the US. This is the case even if you are on vacation in the US with your car, whether your car has a canadian registration, or a US registration. Even if you lived in Canada and move to the US, the car is not covered in the US if you formally import it. SO, this is a deal breaker.
