I know. I cringe everytime I see a new AMG price tag and then look at US pricing where our $ is now at least 2-5% stronger. Excluding taxes, we are still paying a lot more than anyone else in the world (excluding perhaps Singaporeans)

That is nuts...So what does a basic AMG C63 list for?

A C63 is about US$170k and C63BS is equivalent to US$270-80k. We pay a 10% goods and services tax, 5% customs duty and a 35% luxury car tax. Its a total joke here

Uhm, wow.

And I used to think we had it tough in the US because we rarely get cool cars (for instance, the A45 AMG isn't coming here; nor do we get the C63 Estate or the CLS63 Shooting Brake). Your problems are far worse.
