Default Re: Interesting point about imports now.

orly?

so why aren't they "put in a price bracket so that people can afford them" (as you put it) in other countries?

Simple, the manufacturers, price them at a point that they think we'll pay. Owing to the fact we can't import new cars, if someone wants a BMW/Merc/etc. they'll pay almost whatever the price is, because you can't go anywhere else. some free economy.
