Toronto has a different culture/mindset when it comes to high-end or exotic 
cars.  Since the recession you don't see nearly as many as we did during the 
mid '80's.

A friend has a dealership in TO and London (ON).  London has about 5% of the 
population of TO yet he sells 4 times as many $150+k cars in London than he 
does in TO.  Considering he has no competition in either market it isn't too 
hard to figure out...people just aren't as interested.

IMO, I don't think this generation is as car wacky as the baby boomers.  Even 
my own son is looking at something practical and economical although he grew-up 
in a totally impractical environment.
