The concept also ignores one problem that is why the Astra is struggling to sell here. Exchange rates for foreign vs. U.S. currencies. Because of this, the Astra is forced into a price point, where it simply cannot compete with the other competing vehicles in the same class. Importing more of t he same, will only add to the glut of unsold vehicles in this country.
