Japanese import tax / duty on new cars:
Heard on the news that the government applied a new import duty or tax onto Japanese cars imported into the US for sale. The change was made to try to strengthen the US sales of American made products. The news said this would apply to all Japanese models. The example I heard on the GT-R for example the base model for 2012 was $89,950. With the new tax or duty the 2013 base model will cost $105-110k. Anyone else heard about this? Would really raise used car values on Japanese products too...
