Is the VAT really that high for you Europeans? I mean, we have sales taxes but they vary either by city to city, region to region or even state to state with some states not even having any at all. How about over in Europe?
In any case, I wonder if Porsche actually adjusts the MSRP for each market or do they have a baseline pricing worldwide which determines the end MSRP for each market after each respective taxes have been applied.
Pricing varies by country (which also prompts manufacturers to "forbid" dealer trading between countries and facilitates "gray market" trading-remember the Cayenne trading between the USA and Mexico years ago) as does taxation, so both affect final price even before dealer markups. So the VAT (Very abominable tax) is adding insult to injury....
