1. Assuming that they are still exporting normal cars I like that this is an attempt to hurt the rich only.

2. I mean…can they even afford mid-range cars now?

3. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2022/03/e55058e23e11-breaking-news-japan-plans-to-ban-exports-of-luxury-cars-to-russia.html) reduced by 68%. (I’m a bot)

   > Japan is planning to ban exports of luxury cars to Russia as early as next week as part of sanctions it is imposing on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, a government source said Friday.

   > Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said at a Group of Seven industrialized nations' meeting on Thursday that more Russian individuals and entities will be added to its sanctions list and that exports of luxury goods will be banned.

   > Japan imposed a similar ban on luxury goods exports to North Korea in 2006 after Pyongyang announced it conducted a nuclear test.
