Mmm, lets see hehe

Porsche 911 Carrera
USA - $73,500 (or £36,750)
GB - £61,620

For some bizarre reason, the UK is more expensive than pretty much everywhere else. Given the latest change in the O2 contracts for the iPhone, its actually not that bad. Yes the phone itself is expensive but to directly compare UK to USA prices is never going to work.

Different US states have different sales taxes and luxury/gas guzzler taxes.

So that price is just "pre-tax" whereas the UK price is with VAT. Now VAT is a lot higher than even the most taxing of states, if let us compare things properly please smile This is pedants corner, afterall wink
