In lots of cases car’s even fail to be imported into country precisely because of Western customs being so…greedy.

Probably that’s why the import on the Eastern side has grown, primarily because it is cheaper to import there. And what can you import on the Eastern side? Well, the only reasonable choice is Japanese stuff =)
