It's already here, since 2010 iirc you have to pay £1000 odd in new car showroom tax on a M band car.

This.

Plus...what is petrol duty if not a gas guzzler tax?

I'd prefer to pay $3k once than 70p per litre of tax every fill up.

In Holland any new car above 205 g CO2/km pays an additional tax, for a new Ferrari California this is €63k, for a 599 this is €164k. Yes, you read that right. A new 458 without options is GBP238k.

Count your lucky stars over there in Blighty.

What? Is this a typo - Is the tax of a california: 63K euros, of was it 163K for the total price?
