Yeah fair enough, but when you think back, the 2003 350z Track was similarly priced about the same here even before the LCT went up.

Even with all the taxes we pay for cars, does this justify a $20K AUD increase on the price of this car in relation to the price in the States (including all their taxes)? It's a little hard to imagine that we are paying well over 20K in taxes on a $67,990 car (again this figure is based on the US price including their taxes)
