Pretty much in the same ball park as Kato.

Seriously, its the same story kids. Small populous wanting to live it large at all levels. Sustainability in a country that offers you EVERYTHING the world has to offer comes at a cost (which requires a profit margin).

I saw that 300K price....
My sister in law is a trolley dolly for Emirates living Dubai, you've got me thinking....does she have to own it for a certain amount of time?

The part that annoys me the most is when the industry we are protecting here, sells the same product in another country far, far cheaper than they sell it here. If they can sell it for that over there, sell it here for that price or cheaper.[/QUOTE]


its called market forces.....and international business
the reason for the lower sale price in another country is for competitive reasons or simply becoz the company is trying to enter that market. if u haven't notice, the aussie automotive industry is lackin in so many aspects that the brand holden is unheard off in most markets. in europe it is badge as opel, n in the US n middle east its branded as the chevy.

to even make it worthwhile to go international, u must have an entry strategy....to cut it short, u either make it (the brand) appeal to those with lots of money or those lil money. since aussie cars are virtually unheard off overseas, selling them at a high price makes no sense...so they made it cheaper to enter the market and hopefully grab a small piece of the pie from other 6000 pound gorillas already there (i.e. toyota, honda, GM, Ford, etc)...

holden is owned by GM. but GM has so many brands that its pretty much competiting with itslf at times

good ol' scarcity, economies of scale and scope hey?

This is why you are the brains of the organisation
