Here at Autoblog Canada we’re usually a pretty patriotic bunch, but when it comes to this list of top 10 awesome cars we simply can’t have in Canada, it looks like a case can be built for switching citizenship or at least signing up for some sort of foreign exchange program.

Don’t get us wrong, we still get our fair share of fun to drive performance cars that aren’t sold overseas either, but euro-spec models and hot hatchbacks like the Audi RS4 Avant, BMW M 135i three-door and Volkswagen Scirocco R (pictured above) are sadly the stuff many Canadian enthusiasts can only dream of buying.

While living in Canada has a lengthy list of benefits and very we’re proud to call it home, one can’t help but feel short changed at the thought of forbidden automotive fruit we’ll never be able to buy on Canadian soil.

Click here to countdown the list of top 10 best cars you can’t get in Canada.

Apple will reportedly unveil its own smart home plans at WWDC next week, but users shouldn’t expect any new Apple products or amazing software features for the home just yet, a GigaOm report seems to suggest. Apparently the company will not introduce any major products for the home, and will instead simply try to connect more home appliances and devices made by others to iOS products through its “Made for iPhone” (MFi) certification program.

Game revenue stats from the first quarter of 2014 are grim reading for Nintendo. The ailing giant is now being overtaken by multiple mobile app companies, many of them riding on the success of a single, free download. Nintendo’s entire software stable — consisting of dozens of Wii U, Wii and 3DS titles —grossed just $411 million in the first quarter of the year.

Earlier this year, Google-owned YouTube began collecting a different type of data when serving videos to its users. Instead of focusing solely on data that might help the Internet giant serve targeted ads to viewers, Google also started noting the quality of its users’ broadband Internet connections. Now, for the first time since it began its initiative in January, Google is sharing the data it collected in an effort to show users how their ISPs stack up against rivals in the area.

There’s a major reason why Apple bought Beats that almost no one’s talking about

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

So far we’ve heard a lot of explanations for why Apple decided to spend $3 billion to acquire Beats and most of them have involved getting into the music streaming game or bringing top Beats executive Jimmy Iovine into the fold. However, there is another reason that Apple bought Beats that we may have overlooked: Teenagers actually love Beats headphones.

Filed under:

The Canadian Sport Compact Series (CSCS) is Canada’s biggest series for Time Attack, Drifting, Show and Shine, and Drag Racing, all rolled into one event.

Each year, CSCS brings out some of the fastest competition cars in Canada (there are even a few American entries, including Innovative Tuning’s championship holding Voltron Subaru Impreza Time Attack car), while remaining true to their roots and offering up a FWD, RWD Street class, along with the Unlimited classes.

The Street class encourages any skill level driver (take that with a grain of salt, you’re expected to have some track day experience, but not required) with close to factory stock cars to bring their car out to the track to have fun, push their limits, and most importantly, compete safely in a controlled environment. The Unlimited and Street classes are heating up more and more with each passing year.

Check out both our hi-res galleries below and click on for more.
