Why are vehicles so much more expensive in Aus?

luxury car tax of about 33%, right hand drive, no competition + low volume, of that 400k, 120k+ is straight out tax :(

Wow, that's a real bitch. Come to the US and let's lobby these lawmakers to repeal speed limits. :thumbsup

Wow what? It's looked the same for.. ever. Only 400hp? Buy a used (probably faster) one, or a 458.

The Porsche does seem outdated. Check out 2013 Corvette (16 months till release) sure it will be same price.

It's the only car design which stays basically the same all the time. Some say that that is the charm of it, for me it says they severly lack creativity and originality. Also when you find it ugly, all next models are ugly too because they dont change a damn thing. And i find it an ugly design.

He used to drive a Honda Civic with license plates that read "ADULT". I really don't think he cares what people think about the car he drives. :1orglaugh

The weight of the steering. They're built like a fine watch.

If you spend some time in them you'll realize there's a lot more to them than simply their appearance. The Germans really know how to design a very serious vehicle.

IMO they present the best combination of value, performance and over-all experience.

my 968 is 18 years old now and has about 250k kilometers but it still looks and feels like almost new

and i can only smile when i read that 350 or 400hp is "underpowered" :error

Actually pretty let down by the 991 design. The 996 to 997 was a huge jump in terms of design IMO. The 997 to 991 just looks pretty small, biggest being interior changes.

I was looking to get a year old 991 Turbo when it became time to get rid of the M6, but now I think I might just get a slightly more exotic 997, like a Turbo S or GT2 for around the same price if not a little bit less. 911 really tank when a new model comes out...

When my wife's lease if up we'll def. get a Panamera S though, they are really growing on us :)

Yes but its a German car and its very light. Please do not compare any America car to German cars.
