It was not specifically R32's that were not allowed. We were not allowed to register anything that was not already being sold in Canada unless it was at least 15 years old.
Because of the strong canadian / weak US dollar, they have folded under pressure from all the consumers who want to take advantage and have allowed us to import almost anything from the US. (including the R32).
Are you still enjoying yours?
My current GTI is united grey, just like your R32. I like the colour but dont seem to be able to find an r32 painted that way so I think im going to buy one of the blue ones. Looks like I have to trek at least as far as salt lake city to find one though! (I live in Calgary so thats pretty far!)
