You are not alone Alantf. Our friends down under pay some steep prices for their transportation too. Bikes and cars.
With the auto industry starting to shut down manufacturing in Australia they may even pay more in the future. GM has been moving into China with their manufacturing for years now so what will become of the Made in America symbol. This is a real kick in the pants after the U.S. and Canadian governments bailed them out to keep them operating and provide North Americans with jobs and security.
The so called Global Economy is a 2 edged sword for many folks. Some products are cheaper now but no one has a job to earn money to buy anything. The spin off from auto manufacturing in N.A. is being reduced further and causing more unemployment as time goes by.
Suzuki pulled their auto sales out of the states due to a very small market share and high costs of dealerships and their support. Thankfully the bike sales are in better position in N.A. even if it is still a smaller part of their overall sales world wide.
