Just to give our American members some insight into the price gouging we get here down under for the C8 Corvettes.

Was told last year by a dealer the C8 will be here late this year & well under 200K

I just laughed at him & pointed to a ZL1 Camaro for $175K in his show room, here is another one

Can't see how the C8 will be well under $200K here, if it is there will be quite a few upset Camaro owners

The Supra is fantastic buying at $99K

If you could actually get a C8 within about 10k of the Supra I would have purchased the vette. Love my 21 black a91, but still prefer the C8. Markup is insane.

Are the salaries also adjusted up there? Or are most of the cars not obtainable?

The Supra cost is around a good salary or a 20% deposit on a cheap $500K house here most are $700K plus

Tradesman get around $30 hour

The standard Yaris is $30K the GR is $60K the Supra is $98K

How does health care and education work there? Hopefully that is subsidized by the government at those tax rates.

Free health care, free school up to your College level

40% is the top tax rate

Just remember there is only around 5 million people here, total
