You may have a point lol but even so that would make the US base model £60,000... Surely theres some sales tax in the states too? |

Sales taxes vary from state to state so many US prices don't include any sales tax, whereas they do on UK/European pricing.
Comparing Autobiography Supercharged - base US price is £82400, UK price before VAT is £81995.. |

Yeah, the SC seems to be expensive wherever you look, as cash cow superior! The standard car however... even slapping on our 20%, is cheaper than the standard Vogue TDV6 here. Less kit for them yeah, but my point is that that car would fill the price gap between now and 5 years ago. Like the standard wheels over there too: look good and not too big! Surely a worthy addition to the UK range? |

Can't answer why there are a number of "entry level" models in the US and not in the UK, must be marketing reasons. |

Oh, I like the wheels but maybe its because they are so standard: kinda offsets all the aluminium jewellery gubbins on the grille and so on! TBH probably prefer the Vogue seats, but not enough to make them worth £10k more! That is true lol: maybe the US spec is actually made of steel to take the strain |
