WTF!?!?!? -- German cars more expensive in Germany than in Canada...

Im in the process of purchasing a new Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG cabriolet, and I stumbled across the GERMAN Mercedes website... Here is their pricing in EUROs

http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/pdf/...209-Cabrio.pdf

72,300 Euros + taxes

.....

In Canada the exact same car goes for $110,000 Canadian dollars.

Now the exchange rate is 1 EUR = 1.60143 CAD (xe.com)

Therefore:

72,300.00 Euro = 115,783.35 Canada Dollars

Weird but cool... BTW I've managed to bargain the car down to $99,000 + $1500 delivery charge. I can't wait till I get it.
