Where there is demand, there will be price increases in any area possible.  This is clearly the case as luxury carmakers saturate the currently lucrative Asian exotic car market, which has paved the way to a government tax increase from 10% to 30%.  What?  A government demanding a larger slice of the profits (Note sarcasm)?
