I am Canadian - and though I have not done this, I think the big issues would be with US Customs. You may be subject to pay very large and prohibitive duties to bring your Canadian Purchase into the USA. (Has NAFTA changed any of this?)
Yes CDN taxes would apply - 15% in Ontario (7% Federal GST + 8% Provincial Sales tax) but you could probably apply later in writing to get some of those back.
Differences between US and CDN Models:
1. Daytime Running Lights have been mandetory here for years and are included
2. Sometimes Colour selection - I know the CRVs are always offered in different colours between our countries.
3. Our Speedo and Odometers are calibrated to Metric - Kilometers, although we have the Imperial measurements on the speedo in smaller letters.
4. Many car lines include cold wheather stuff on CDN cars that are not included in the USA - heated mirros and seats, engine block heaters.
5. We do not get the NAV (no maps of CDN cities?) or the RES options here.
Just call US Customs and ask them.
