Don't forget we are not the only ones "to get raped" over car prices. The UK pay roughly what we pay in Oz (after exchange rate conversion).

It has a lot to do with the USA market having 15 times the sales of Australia (on a per capita basis) and the perception, rightly or wrongly, that you have to crack the USA market to be credible.

Nisssan expect to sell 60 - 70 370Z per month here in Oz, and my feedback is that they'll do much better than that as the word gets out amongst the cogniscenti that the Z is a awesome amount of car for the $ and perhaps the sportscar bargain of the 2010's - hell I know already a few WRXer's trading up.
