Ouch, almost 200k for a cayman? 50k for a GTI?
Never been to Norway, but I'm kinda glad now. I would be dirt poor and riding a bicycle, unless there's bicycle tax.
Maybe a stupid question, do people in Norway make significantly more money, on average?\
Edit* Jesus, 208K Boxster!?! I'm going nuts here.

What they do in Thailand is that they detune it before import then the dealer retune it up to stock spec at the showroom...i think MTM also does this with Audi in Thailand....base boxster and cayman still cost around 200,000 USD though so dont be jealous

(Boxster is $97k and 911 is $175k. Base models.)
Sorry for all the questions but is the annual roadtax for cars very high in Sweden? In Holland you pay ~$2k a year for a car like a 911. The amount of tax liable depends on the car's weight, type of fuel and in which tax district you live.

Don't know what the road tax is for a 997, but for a Panamera Turbo, it's 450 bucks a year.
