Makes more sense to get a NAFTA-car no? (Which does include many 'imports' that are made domestically now.)
Maybe it is just $1000 or something?

This is correct, with any cars that are not built in Canada, US, or the Mexico, an additional duty is charged, and dependent on the country that it is coming from even if it is brought from the US.
Truthfully though, I would personally only purchase a car made in Japan or Germany, I wouldn't want a Japanese or German branded car that was built in a NAFTA country. I know... I'm contributing to the failure of the auto industry in our country, but frankly, I want a car that all I need to do is regular maintenance , and with the German and Japanese cars that I've had, that is all I've ever had to do.
The one American car I had, while cheap to fix, it still needed to be fixed for simple quality problems that simply should not happen.
