It's not a Monopoly. He is not the only importer of cars. Nor is he the only company selling cars in the United States. He is a distributor of a product. Just like Ford Distributes Mustangs. Only on a much smaller, much more expensive scale.

But this:
they petitioned the courts to protect their interest in the Skyline market by "locking out" other would-be importers from the list of necessary modifications
Pretty much makes me think he wanted a monopoly on it.

Theres RB Motoring, but you can be damn sure that the gov't will be watching them.

This sucks because I was going to order a damn rear strut bar through them because they were the only ones who would import it.

Even reputable shops these days are turning out to be crooked. Sad.
