The luxor beige leather with all black interior is interesting.

A base 3.0TDI is listed at 29,500 GBP, which at current currency exchange rates, equals over $61,000 USD!

e.g.

UK S5 is ~£40k, which is about $83k USD.
US S5 actually starts at ~$50k USD.

I live in Norway, the country of outrageous car taxation. UK prices are like heaven to me. American prices are insane. Our salaries are higher though. But the prices are still crazy high.

3.0TDI starts at 110k
RS4 starts at 290k
1.8t and 2.0TDI start at 65k


This is no joke.

That would drop volume so much, I don't think we'll see it that high. I bump to 31k I can believe.

Our prices are probably still aligned with the euro, but with the USD tanking against every dollar, the prices for stuff in the US should be higher than what they are but increasing the prices to correct that there would probably cause even more damage to the financial economy there!

those Norway prices wouldn't be as scary.

Your taxes do go for complete heath coverage, as well as other benefits (e.g. retirement?) correct?
