If this is true Great Find. But looks like it is only the FWd and not AWD

Man that would make no since for Canadian Rogues. Seems that AWD would be the prefered choice in that climate.

it's worth a try. i read the requirements and the application form, nowhere does it distinguish if it's a FWD or an AWD.

these are the only info they need:- whether the vehicle is purchased or leased; - if leased, the duration of the lease in months; - whether the vehicle is new or a demo; - the make, model and year of the vehicle; - the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle; - whether the vehicle is a hybrid; - the engine size (litre size) of vehicle; - the number of cylinders of the vehicle; - the transmission type of the vehicle: manual, automatic or continuously variable; - the fuel type: indicate if the vehicle is equipped to use gasoline, flex fuel (combination of gasoline and ethanol) or diesel; - the purchase date: This is the date marked on the sales or lease agreement or the delivery date of the vehicle.

Its definitely only the FWDhttp://www.tc.gc.ca/programs/e...y.htm

I'd assume because the AWD is less fuel efficient is the reason. The point of the rebate is for cars meeting certain targets for fuel efficiency.
