As it stands the ASX isn't exactly cheap already given what you get for it...
They could have did the same thing they did with the Fuzion. Import from Taiwan. Taiwan makes their own 2.4L Outlander and sell it for much cheaper than the 1.44M and 1.25M that it is sold here. Its OK if they raise the prices of the V6 Outlander, the sort of people who would buy this sort of car wouldn't mind that much.
