Maybe for the aftermarket but it's not that simple for the OEM.



35 to 40k I doubt it. Most people forget that Japan has been broke ass for at least 20 years. Didn't you read the Reuters article on illegal foreign migrants earning minimum wage in the Japanese auto parts industry. This is no longer the booming 1980's unfortunately.

I'm very glad the twins actually even happened.
