but you can't really use that as a basis though can you? from what i've heard, the brits, and other euro guys pay more just as a whole for cars. i don't know that comparing the two markets is an apples to apples comparison.
and tru dat with the jeremy clarkson review. i don't see how he can hate it so much and tiff needell and the other chick can love it so much. he just whines for about 5 minutes. and he complains about the trunks space!!! its not like we're buying these cars just so we can help our friends move pianos or something. what an idiot.

Hehe....If you want a factual analysis of any car then Fifth Gear is the show you want....Tiff is and ex F1 and Le Mans driver....I think his credentials easily trumps old Pumpkin head at Top Gear.....But if you want to be entertained with jokes and satire then Top Gear is the ****.....Only thing I value a bit about Top Gear is the Stig doing laps....Its the only saving grace for the enthusiast.....

True. You really have to try and forget the exchange rate and look at like for like. Brits pay 27K pounds and we pay 27K $$$

and you pay also something like 600 euro/year for property (based on HP)
and... 1500 euro for insurance (minimum with base coverage.. a full umbrella coverage run over 5K ) for year.
No wonder why you don't see many Z around Italy.

From Wikipedia - In many dialects of English, the letter's name is pronounced zed /zɛd/, reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta.
In American English dialects, however, its name is pronounced zee
