I don't think the strength of the dollar has much to do with the price. Mistral are probably bright enough to know that you have to price for the country you're selling in. I think they set the price about right.

Four years ago a Euro sold for 89 cents.  Now it will cost you @ $1.20.

His $30,000 dollar engine would have cost you $22,250 were it not for a mismanaged economy, all time record deficits, and continued balance of trade inequities that are never addressed ... politicians (OF BOTH PARTIES) just let the dollar tank to accommodate their grandiose spending, which is primarily payback to "campaign contributors" ... not bribers, mind you ... "contributors".

Still think the "strength" of the dollar doesn't have much to do with the price of foreign goods?
