    theres so many reasons why the costs are different and why we get some things and miss out on others.

    there has been plenty of threads about it!


    There is nothing silly about Australians being ripped-off big time!!! And that website reference (http://english.martinvarsavsky.net/g...n-america.html) does nothing to explain it apart from saying it's the way it is. I mean; "because Americans are not used paying high prices". One bloke even starts off saying cars are cheaper in USA then finishes by saying they are cheaper in Europe. What a load of cods-wallop! Maybe we should become un-used to paying high prices.

    Absolute proof of the entrenched rip-off is the Accord: Virtually the same car: One made in the relatively high labour cost USA and the other made in the low labour cost Thailand. Yet we pay a $AU15,000 premium. For what? Somone is having a lend of us and it's Honda and all of the other manufacturers.
