Re: Audi RS5 in Geneva
AlexisP:
Hello KresoF1,
What is the level of Co2 of RS5 ?
Greater than 245g/km ? (This is the limit in France where you need to pay 2600 € when you buy the car + annual fee of 130 € vs 1600€ without any annual fee when Co2 <246g/km)
Thanks for your answer,
ALEXISP
Unfortunately these new taxes suck kind of everywhere. Here in Switzerland in my canton (that's like a state) the taxes for cars registered from January 2009 who fall into the 'G' category (that's about 250g CO2 i believe) pay a tax increase by 50%. So actually all this theoretical fuel consumption reduction (like here to 10.8l) does not help the customer cause you are still in the highest category (it helps Audi to lower fleet consumption though).
In any case you'd pay clearly less tax on a 2008 RS6 than on a 2010 RS5, although according to Audi there is a big consumption differential...
