This alone will increase aliyah from N. America more than any other program or incentive that the gov't. can offer  ;D

Question is how their product offerings and prices will compare to their North American operations.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing.  If they simply offer the same obscure, poor-quality Chinese/European  clothing/electronics/appliance brands (Hemilton, Gold Label, זק"ש, etc. come to mind) that are currently sold here for even cheaper -- not a happy camper.  If they start selling the top names and quality name brands and even bring others that aren't available (e.g. Cuisinart) for 50% less = win.

Just imagine if they were to expand into the car importation business, bringing U.S. cars to Israel at the current price points?

Problem with cars is the Israeli customs cost of nearly 100% on cars.

I know, in some cases even >100% -- but I"m sure there's still a healthy amount of fat to be trimmed.

Just imported a car myself. No reason to pay any premium (again, no way around the tax)

Did you use a service or do it yourself?  Was it a U.S.-spec car?  If so, did they give you a hard time about the headlights and turn signals?
Would love to discuss this with you more via PM.

Sorry! No disrespect intended. I was just having a little fun, didn't mean it at your expense.

Toyota sienna

Used a service for import/customs. Will be doing registration myself. Happy to discuss via PM or maybe open a new topic for this. But better to wait once I'm done with the process. Should be another couple of weeks
