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.

Name brand Italian pasta is cheaper here than Italy.
It's like that for many N. AMerican vs. European purchases.
