I find these comparisons not to be that useful. Here is the US, we are so much more dependent on the income tax system whereas many other countries primarily follow some sort of VAT system. A more useful comparison would be to determine how many gross income dollars does it take to buy a 911TT in each country. For example, if you add 8% sales tax to the $122,900 figure quoted above and figure a combined state and federal income tax of 40%, then it takes $221,220 gross income dollars to purchase a 911TT in the US. That's not that far off of the figures quoted above.



Well, here in Sweden a Turbo costs the equivalent of US$198,900 (including 25% VAT)
Gross income would be the equivalent of US$432,500
If one would own their own business, it would take $570,800 of the company's money in order to buy a 911 TT privately.
