Notice that the delta between NA-manufactured cars is still significant, there's quite a gap between US and Canadian MSRPs. This has not changed between high and low CAD -> USD rates. Similarly, we pay the same for things like video games, despite the rate being different.

Hell, just look at how much more people in the EU have had to pay for a game despite the Euro being way head of the USD. Or how badly Australians are getting fisted over their game prices even though their dollar is on par with ours. EB Canada is charging $65 for a PS4 copy of Thief and in Australia that same copy is selling at EB for $100
