I really don't know how economics work, so I can't posit on that. Sometimes though I think I should try and figure it out, as the strength of the yen seems to have an impact on Honda's and Toyota's export prospects.

God. That really makes me wonder how any Asian import was able to fare in the late 90s. Maybe they were taking hits? I think someone posted here that part of the reason Germany is unwilling to let Greece and other countries back out of the Euro is because they need it to prop up their export car market. BMW and Audi seem to be pushing the limit for the price of their cars as is. A jump like that would absolutely kill their sales. God knows no one would pay an extra $10-15k for a lame VW.
