Taxes mostly. The Netherlands for example has BPM, special tax for motor vehicles of about 45%. This gets added to the net price of the car. Then on top of this net price + BPM you pay 19% sales tax...

that's because Japan and the US have a deal. Both the US and Japan make cars and both import/export cars, both offet the taxes.

If the US taxes japanese cars high, then Japan retaliates and taxes US cars high. So both countries have a deal and tax each other very little.
