Not only is the supply ridiculously exclusive to a select few the price is also ridiculously inflated with taxes (the base unit costs USD37K compared to the US FRS of USD25K).

The U.S. market is still by far the lucky market for getting almost an unlimited and relatively "cheap" supply of the FRS. Just about any average American Joe can get one.
77 units for Year 2012
Additional 200 units allocated for 2013
