Japan has been forced to limit its auto exports to the USA to assure the survival of incompetent Detroit management, so fewer Toyotas, or whatever, are imported, so dealers are arrogant and customers pay more. As long as there are people willing to pay the prices asked for for cars "on allocation", or cars can be sold after sitting only a few days on a lot (ask a Detroit- product dealer how long his cars sit on his lot, on average) the situation won`t change. You shouldn`t write to the Net; you should write to your Congressman and the President, reminding them that import quotas result in increased costs for EVERYBODY. Jeff
