Has nothing to do with Canada.

Go to the library and read any '80s car magazine. The term was in regular
use through the '80s.

The term (or "Q-car") has subsequently been used to describe cars that have
much higher than average performance (often through extensive modification)
but look like conventional, uninteresting family transport. As well as the
ships, this term may also be reinforced from the United Kingdom's system of
registration plate numbering - the first symbol on a British plate is a
letter code for the year of manufacture, but for vehicles of uncertain or
mixed age, a plate beginning with "Q" is used.

I meant to put quotes around my post since it's from Wikipedia. Sorry.
