USA car prices vs Australia

[Blitzen]

I don't think it's pointless comparing USA's VW prices to ours. A GF of mine just ordered her new Golf R over there (built on Germany), and it came to just under $36,000 on the road.
Aussies get bent over, and the pineapple firmly inserted pointy end first when it comes to everything now. This is why basically the only thing I buy in Australia now is food. I just can't justify paying the exorbitant prices that we have to when we can get on the net and buy for a half or third of the price, with shipping, then we would in Australia.

I don't see anyone is saying it's pointless making comparisons, I think most people are saying it's pointless making comparisons between Australia and the USA

That's what I was disputing...

That's what I was disputing...

were you disputing that it's pointless to make comparisons between the aus and usa markets?

or were you disputing that it's NOT pointless to make comparisons between the aus and usa markets?

or were you disputing that people were saying that it's pointless making comparisons, or disputing that djorkboy thinks that most people are saying that it's pointless to make those comparisons?

I dispute that.

I resent that statement. We all know we get done over, retailers are crying poor at the moment, but I know with my uncles Snooze store they are discounting a lot but still hard to sell, so its the middle men. Hyundai charge an awful lot more here than they should as they have had a good sales history here. Apart from Apple, not really any other maker has dropped their prices relative to our dollar.

Blah blah blah US is cheap blah blah blah

Yeah. At least we still have a functioning economy and a decent health system. I'm happy to pay a bit more to keep them.
