This one depends on the car. Look up the MSRP for both the US and Canadian vehicles, do the conversion (USD to CDN), then add about 5k for taxes, duty, etc. That should give you a good indication as to if you should consider it for the vehicle you are interested in.

As an example: Subaru WRX STI is worth going to the US to purchase it.
MSRP in the US is around $31 - $33 k.
MSRP in Canada is around $50k.
Even after the conversion, and adding about $5k, you are saving about $10k on the final price.
