I read somewhere on the Net that VWA buy all their cars from VWAG in Aussie Dollars, so that the exchange rate risk sits at head office, not at a local level.
Could be rubbish, but it was the reason VW's didnt increase substantially when our dollar went tits up last year.
If I remember a number of manufacturers (esp Japan) buy their car in overseas currencies and the Aud weakened their prices went up by sometimes 10%+
Confirmed Global Warming Sceptic. No Longer a VW Owner -Loving my new 2011 Range Rover Sport - bought as VW unable to provide info on the new Toureg despite it being released overseas 12 mths ago. 2008 R36 Wagon, 2006 GTI and 2004 R32 - Gone. Sorry VW, you make great cars but until you improve your customers' experiences you will lose customers
