You think life is tough here to have a nice car??? Think again!

[fivepointnine]

the question you need to be asking is what the average persons wage is in these countries....I would bet that it would all even out...........


let me use a pint of beer for example, no matter what country I went to the beer usually ended up costing $5-$7 US per, regardless of the currency.

countries I have tested this theory in...
Australia (pitchers of VB were cheaper though)
Singapore (mmmm Tiger beer)
Hong Kong
Kuala Lampur

and even though fuel is expensive, last time I was in Germany I saw an awful lot of very nice cars on the road

I really don't think so. I doubt that the average wage in Denmark is 2.5 times what it is in the U.S., etc. I KNOW that's not the case in France, where average real wages are lower than in the U.S. yet cars (and associated operating costs) are quite a bit higher than the U.S.
