With warranties it is best to check with the manufacturer directly. it varies widely. Honda Acura for instance cancel the warranty outright if you import the car to Canada, GM it is seamless, BMW and MB will transfer the warranty after they make you jump through a bunch of hoops and give them a bunch of money.
I believe warraties will transfer if you are moving. Check with the individual dealer but this is not the same as running across the border and snagging a deal.

I'm sure with the dollar hitting par again we are goingto see another rash of cross border shopping so we'll hear more on this, but during the last run this topic came up a lot and the rules (from the manufacturers) aren't the same for moving. RIV doesn't care either way.
