Steve. They have not sold Land Cruisers in Canada since the early '80s, and none of the Lexus re-badges we got were Diesel. You can sleep easy.

Luckily in the case of Mercedes, they will issue a Letter of Compliance with the same 4 year/80,000 km warranty as Canadian market cars (minus Corrosion coverage and no extended warranty). Companies like Chrysler void all warranties in Canada and the US on grey market vehicles.

The only difference was the engine/drive train. It otherwise would meet US DOT bumper/etc. standards. I did as much research as I could on this and while I do love my 320, if you're saying I could've imported a diesel LC ... I'll be disappointed.
