Sill shows that the 03-09 EVOs are inadmissable due to their bumper, maybe they havent had a chance to update it.
Has anyone read the entire article? I want to know if they state that all older vehicles are admissable or could it be that its just the 2008 + vehicles?

I have heard a couple different things, the second being the best;
1 - only vehicles made after the date of the change will be admissable to Canada and all others will still be inadmissable, regardless.
2 - all vehicles complying to the new standard, regardless of production date will be admissable.
In other words, nobody knows and we’ll find out soon enough.

From that article, it seemed fairly evident that it’s #2. Hopefully that’s the case.

I cant imagine them making it 2008 +. That wouldnt make much sense.
EVO here I come in 6 months, now I need to figure out a way to keep the 240.

The RIV site clearly states bumper law. Not sure why it would be still inadmissible now that it has been corrected.

the main reason is that when it did the crash test the bumper cracked/broke at 5km/h but the law states that it has to be minimum 7 or 8 km/h

The only real reason the EVO failed to come to Canada is because of the FMIC and it’s effects it has on the crash testing.
