Now who says the American consumer is powerless again?
I started a thread on how Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, BMW and other high end vehicle companies are raping the American taxpayer blind with their high priced ass vehicles due to their ridiculous Import taxes they are charging us just to ship their vehicles over here.
I went on to say how if America demanded those auto-makers to lower their taxes on the vehicles, we can see a boost in our economy since we won't be pissing away $95,000 bucks on a Benz, when the same Benz only costs $50,000 if you buy it IN Germany.
Well, Suzuki is packing their shit and leaving the USA . why? many reasons I suspect:
1. Low return on sales aka bottomline
2. Poor/cheap product can't compete with Yamaha, Harley-Davidson, etc...
3. Customer dissatifaction. could be due to high priced motorcycles and vehicles that don't translate on the road.
4. Poor Economy in America forces shut down
I say the same thing wll happen to the Bigger brands if they don't drop those prices soon.
