Is the JDM Vanquish C2000SHG cheaper than the US VQC2000SHGC?
It depends on the exchange rate, so we cannot give a yes or no. The official figures are ¥65,300 in Japan (before consumption tax) and $529.99 in the US (US MSRP). We do not convert currencies. Dividing one by the other, the Japanese list price is the lower number when one US dollar buys more than ¥123.2.
