The exchange rate is a little bit crazy, I'll agree. My presumption regarding Ralliart usa is twofold;

There is no real need to have them here as most of Mitsubishi's problems/complaints and warranty issues stem from the very nature of Ralliart's core business, that is augmenting Mitsubishi factory cars.

Customer perception of Ralliart in the USA is one of apparel, key fobs and styling acoutrements which, while profitable to some degree, doesn't define the nature of their business which is rally support and motorsport support for the sake of making money.

Ralliart doesn't make much of their own stuff anyway, it's mostly a marketing vehicle, reselling hard parts produced by other Japanese manufacturers. I still like the company but the magic is just that.
