When the Cdn dollar was 1.10 a few months back i tried to bring a VW in from the US. VW dealers in the US can't sell to non US residents so i was going to have to use a broker. Very recently VW of Canada stopped honouring warranties on US vehicles. Then the dollar tanked so it didn't make sense anymore. I think David wants a Jetta wagon, and they're new this year so buying a 1-2 year old model would be different. And if I recall, they haven't made Jetta wagons for a couple of years anyway. I couldn't find one, at least.
