I emailed toyota about the prices up here because the prices on new cars in Vancouver vs the prices in Seattle haven't changed at all. I got some BS automated reply that didn't answer my question. It's silly that the prices have stayed the same in both countries. Below is the reply I got to the question "Why haven't prices been lowered in Canada as the dollar gets stronger?"

Thank you for your recent email.

For your information, it is our understanding that Toyota dealerships
 in the U.S. are not authorized to sell Toyota motor vehicles to
 customers located outside the U.S. or to sell Toyota vehicles for re-sale or
 use outside the United States.

You may be interested to know also that Toyota vehicles distributed in
 the US and Canada may not have identical equipment or meet the same
 regulatory requirements.  And when Toyota Canada considers equipment on
 Toyota vehicles for the Canadian market, we select certain options and
 features, on a model-by-model basis, that we believe are best suited for
 Canada s challenging climatic and driving conditions. 

When a US vehicle is brought into Canada, the importer must ensure it
 complies with Canadian regulatory requirements, like mandatory daylight
 running lights, an appropriate vehicle immobilization system, etc.  In
 addition, the costs to retrofit or modify a vehicle in order for it to
 be brought into Canada are the responsibility of the owner or person
 importing the vehicle.

For further information on importing a vehicle to Canada, we suggest
 you visit the website of The Registrar of Imported Vehicles (a division
 of Transport Canada).  The address is as follows: www.riv.ca .  If you
 prefer, you may call them at 1-888-848-8240.

The manufacturer's warranty (regardless of whether it is a US Toyota
 vehicle or a Canadian Toyota vehicle) is honoured in continental USA and
 Canada.

We hope this information is helpful to you.
