Default Price Increase in 2010?

I just checked the Lexus.com site and noticed that there's a $300 increase in MSRP across all IS models.

Is it a mistake or for real?

I would think it's for real. Typically automakers raise the prices on their models a little each year

I thought they have already increased the MSRP by $540 for the 2010 models in Sept.
Maybe they need more money for the pedal recalls...

The dollar is & has been depreciating compared to the euro and yen.

European automakers are starting to move factories here to take advantage of the exchange rate disparity & cheap labor.

America is a developing country again - yay us.
