That's crazy.
What is the minimum wage there and average annual salary?
Not enough to justify that kind of price hike lol.
Its long being known we pay extraordinary prices on cars. Remember your Pontiac G8 GT? Basically a Holden Monaro. It was made here, exported to the US and it was
still cheaper to buy in the US than it was here. Yes you read that right, a car built in Aus and exported to the US was sold cheaper over there than what it could be had for here locally.
To my knowledge Porsche 911's start at sub $80k in the US, here they are start at $230k.
Whenever I come into these threads (and I made a post about it a few pages back) I wonder how the fuck so many people have these expensive sports cars. It is true Americans do tend to spend more of their income on cars than say, we do in Aus, but its also a little skewed because when I see some of the sports cars etc being posted I think Australian prices, but when you think about what the car costs in the US you kind of think oh actually thats probably not that ridiculous considering what that vehicle is worth over there.
I think one of the best ones I saw was Rolls Royce. $370k in the US, $1 million + here lol.
