How much cheaper would overseas luxury cars be if all extra taxes and tariffs were removed?
Who wouldnt rather buy a top of the range BMW or Mercedes rather than a Commodore or Falcon?

you think tariifs are the only difference between a $90K HSV/FPV and a $300K top BMW/Merc?

one day you might be able to afford a car too instead of that bike you ride.

He thinks his Ford V8 gas guzzler is a luxury car Cheesy

LOL

it IS a luxury car.

Longweekend- you can't compete with Nail's luxury car.
Those soft leather seats get babes. Grin

already got leather seats, boof-head.

Longweekend - unless you put aftermarket leather seats in
your clunker I can bet it had vinyl seats as standard?
No one but you would try to make a silk purse from a sow's ears.

take a look at the options. the GT has leather as an option - which almost everyone takes and the GT-P has it as standard.

you've never been in a high-end car have you?

it wont! LOL. ther are ALREADY 3 times the price. a car comparable to a highend FPV/HSV is $150K-$200 and usually not as fast.

optional is the key word of course. Obviously it comes standard with a bench seat in vinyl

why dont you step out of characted and do a little basic research on the car. you will find little thigns called facts. and what car coems with a vinyl bench seat in the front anyhow? do ANY cars stil ahve them beyond the 30year ld crap you probably drive?

yeah because that is the topic at hand...

when youve driven a high performance car then everything else seems so passe...

next car is a FPV GTP-P 335 with the 420Kw Herrod upgrade. $100K of pure driving pleasure. faster than a BMW M3 and half the price - especially if you want to repair it!

then maybe you should drive a Tesla Wink

and what's the point in having this power with speed limits around ?

and what difference would it make driving through peak hour stop start traffic which would make it a much more expensive journey ? I'd hardly call that something to get excited about.
