Yeah we really do get shafted here with the price of cars. On the surface you would think it would be cheaper to deliver cars here from Japan as we also drive on the left (no expensive second production line) and it's geographically closer than the US and frequented by cargo ships all day every day. But sadly, it's all about protecting our tiny car industry and the population demand....or lack of it.

You guys in the states really do have it well.

On a slightly side comparison (while Im ranting). I used to live in London and when the American store Abercrombie and Fitch opened, all they did was put a £ sticker over the $ sign and kept the price. At the time the UK pound was double the value of the US dollar, so they effectively doubled the cost of each garment.

rant over
