USA: 335i = $38,900 (+ all the extras/on roads I guess). Converted to Australian = $42,000

AUS: 335i = $108,900 (+ all the extras/on roads)

Thats a difference of $67,000. Now luxury car tax, and all the other stuff can't add up to that much?
I gave up along time ago on this issue guys. My brother just bought the fully optioned Pontiac G8 (SSV) for under US $32K. I gave up trying to explain to members of nasioc, legactygt,ect how and why cars cost so much here. I my explanation is no something along of the lines of...you pay to play here in Oz but we have some good toys.
