CANADA GAP

Why this vehicle stands out in Canada.

Canada got related versions of the Volkswagen line-up, but not this exact specification. That usually means the ownership story is better than the rarity suggests, because many service items, chassis parts or even drivetrain components may overlap with Canadian-market cars.
