It's not like Singapore is even a big place, it's one city!
Now why is it Asian Countries have this coming online and we get smacked for $2500...
VW Singapore, the distributor for VW cars here, announced in a statement yesterday that factory-fitted satellite navigation systems will come standard on 10 VW models.

When you realise that a Golf GTI costs $130k AUD in Singapore i think you'll be happy that we have to pay a measly $2500 for a satnav!!!

Yep, having a car costs crazy money there... They have to pay 30-40k just to get a Certificate of Entitlement, the right to have the car in the first place!
Been there a few times in the last couple of months though and there are a ton of Sciroccos on the road there, no Rs though a far as I could see.
I would have to go and have a look at what the average income is but if you use the big mac economy it is apples for apples.. if they can offer an item as standard then it cant be that much of a cost overhead and like ACC should have been standard on the R

The average Singapore wages are less than here in Australia. In fact, several members of my team have moved to Singapore in the past year and all had to take a pay cut.
Yet, as people have mentioned, cars are incredibly expensive.
If I had to earn less money, and pay 3 times more for my car, I'd expect to get Sat Nav for free.
However, I'd much rather pay $2500 for my Sat Nav and keep my Australian pay and initial car price

Haven't skoda included Sat Nav on the entire range....

Actually the RNS510 is standard on the Superb and Octavia elegance models. I think the superb is one fine looking vehicle to, as is the octavia especially the RS model.... Looking at a superb for my next car, fantastic standard features on the 1.8t elegance model.
