Are import fees really that bad there? 
And just as a side note... if you look at the Players Run or the Gumball 3000 *When it was in the US* look for some videos and tell me people don't screw around with 200K cars.

Maybe it's IKEA
I know it's less overthere, but still, cars are much cheaper in the U.S.
Import fee is 10% I think, so it's not too bad. It's the friggin gas that costs $$$$$ here!!

it would seem that if the car is at fault (i.e. the computer) they would have a serious re-call issue here, as well as a potential law suit.. I somehow don't think the computer did it however.
Either way, hope your friends/family are all ok.
BTW.. I bought my Volvo XC90 for less money here, than a Swede can get it for... go figure?
